Dear All,

 
SCOUT LEADERSHIP COURSE (CSLC) 2022

The Scout Leadership Course (SLC) is a course focused on introducing leadership skills to Scouts through on-the-job training while in camp and to train Scouts to develop soft skills such as teamwork, communication, and instructorship. At the end of the course, Scouts are poised to be more confident to assume leadership roles in their own units and be open to learning to become better leaders of tomorrow.

 

Due to COVID-19 and its restrictions on mass gatherings, this year’s area SLC will be held online through a set of Course Guides and Slides that can be carried out by the Scout leaders/teachers; to encourage patrols to perform independent, self-guided learning as a team. Slides are designed to be engaging, relevant, and informative to educate scouts through familiar grounds.
