This all-day Saturday event is presented as a series of class sessions much like a typical school day. Adults can register to attend the courses that are of interest to them. Two all-day courses for youth will be presented. The College of Cub Scouting provides a wide variety of courses from pack administration to planning for an outdoor program. The College of Boy Scouting provides an exciting variety of troop, patrol and outdoor planning supplemental courses to help manage the challenges of a great troop experience. The College of Venturing has courses for those who are into Scouting’s “senior” youth program and are looking for the challenges of an active high adventure experience. The College of General Studies offers courses of interest to Scouters at all levels of Scouting.
