On-line Fast Start Training
(Click on the images to start the course)


Fast Start Training is designed for leaders who have not yet attended Basic Leader Training. This initial course gives new leaders a "crash course" in their Scouting position. It should be taken as soon as possible after registration. This training uses the new BSA E-learning system. You will need to create an account to log on. By creating this account, you can save your progress as you take the courses (in case you are interrupted), save all of your training records in one place, and print out your cards after you have completed taking the courses. To see a small tutorial on how to correctly set up an account, please visit the first part of the Youth Protection page.

Note: If you have already finished Basic Leader Training, you have credit for Fast Start.
