The leadership training program was developed to provide more Scout Leaders and Scoutmasters around the country, and further promote the goals and mission statement of Dog Scouts of America. Persons opting to partake of leadership training can take as much or as little training as they desire. A trainee s goal may be to become a Scoutmaster, or just a Scout Leader, or it may be just to improve the quality of their presentation skills.
Leadership training is provided to interested individuals free of charge.
There is no real requirement for a person to meet except a desire to improve. However, it is recommended that for effective training to take place, certain steps should be followed in order to maximize learning. There may already be a troop established near you that you can join. If not, then here are some guidelines for forming your own troop, receiving leadership training, and conducting activities. Identify other members, or interested parties who share our ideals, and are willing to join DSA, which would like to join your group.
