  Every Month at Scout Roundtable in Ida 7:00pm 
  New Leader Essentials is is an introductory session that highlights the values, aims, history, funding and methods of Scouting. It addresses how these aims and methods are reached at an age appropriate style within Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting Varsity Scouting and Venturing. Videos, discussions, and hands-on reinforcement are presented during the 90 minute training session. Ideally, all unit based volunteers - Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity Scout and Venturing leaders - take this session at the same time, so they understand that they are all striving for the same results with the youth they serve. Each leader completes New Leader Essentials training only once.
