“Every Scout deserves a Trained Leader!” Lord Baden Powell
Training enhances the quality of the program we offer our scouts. Training reduces conflict and misunderstandings that can occur on troop activities, especially campouts.
SALT is great training for any leader because it explains how the program works and answers many questions about scouting.
SALT is being offered 4/9 8am5pm at St. Ann’s Center in Coppell; email Pete Parish for SALT signup information
