2021 University of Scouting

2021 CROSSROADS OF AMERICA COUNCIL UNIVERSITY OF SCOUTING November 13, 2021 What is the University of Scouting? This is premier adult training event of the year in our council. Adults can take position-specific training, safety-related training, program-related training, or just learn more about Scouting in general. It’s also a great place to network with other Scouters and learn from their successes and challenges. Why is it called a ‘University’? Participants may earn bachelor, master’s, and doctoral degrees in Cub Scouts or Scouts BSA, or may participate in continuing education by taking courses of interest. Who should attend? This is a great training event for Scouters of all experience levels in all programs – Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scouts, and Exploring. There’s something for everyone! Where will it be held? The event will be 8:00AM to 3:30PM at Carmel High School (520 E Main Street, Carmel, IN 46032) in the Freshman Center. Enter via Door #16. There’s plenty of parking near the freshman center, with overflow parking across 136th Street at the football stadium. Two courses will be held off-site at Camp Belzer, and include an overnight component. These are Introduction to Outdoor Leadership Skills (IOLS), required for registration as a Scoutmaster or Assistant Scoutmaster, and Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO), required for at least one adult on every Cub Scout campout. What else can I expect? There will be a midway of Scouting programs and outfitters for outdoor activities. There will also be a trading post, and time to network with other Scouters over lunch.
