Online Training

Important leader training sessions are available via the Internet for new and experienced volunteers.  All courses are hosted at our National BSA E-Learning Website and ask that you to provide/create a login to be tracked in the E-Learning Course management System.

The National Council of the Boy Scouts of America has developed an online training system known as the Online Learning Center or eLearning. The following information will help get you started using the National eLearning site.

·         E-Learning Registration

·         Youth Protection Training Instructions

·         Frequently Asked Questions

Please Note: There is a new new central access method for e-learning. You will need to create a MyScouting account (using your e-mail address as your login). This account gives you direct access to e-learning (and other options depending on your profile). Scouting volunteers: please have your council number and member ID handy (from your registration card) when creating your account.
