"Every Boy Deserves a Trained Leader!"
Arrowhead District offers several training opportunities throughout the year. Click the name of the training below to get more details and to sign up online. There is a nominal cost for most of these sessions beyond Fast Start and Youth Protection.
If your schedule can't accomodate these dates, you may wish to look into another local district's training offerings. We welcome our neighboring districts to our training sessions, as well. Click here for the current Circle 10 Council listing of other district's training.
For those courses offered online, you will need to go to http://olc.scouting.org and create an account. You will use your registration card with your Person ID number on it for your account. You keep the same number throughout scouting, so you can use any registration card to find it. If you don't have a registration card yet, go ahead and create an accout and take the training - you can add the Person ID later. The online training URL is http://olc.scouting.org
