New adult leaders are encouraged to attend training for their position. Completion of such training became mandatory for Scoutmasters in January 2011 and for Assistant Scoutmasters in January 2012. This training provides the essential information they need to provide a safe and successful quality program. Fast Start Training is the introduction for adult leaders new to the Scouts BSA program; it is self paced and provided as a video or online. "This is Scouting" is common online core training for adult leaders in BSA and gives an overview of the Scouting Program.
