Training: Varsity Specific

It is recommended that every adult associated with the unit should attend this course.

• For LDS units, that would include Bishoprics, Young Men’s Presidencies, Committee Members, Scout Leaders, parents, and any others interested.
• For non-LDS or individuals interested in the program (though not currently affiliated with a unit), you are more than welcome to join the discussion about how to develop this valuable part of the BSA program!
• Open to all Scouters, Leaders, and those interested, not just members of Tres Ranchos District!
