Leadership is a vital part of the Scouting program. Youth in positions of leadership run the troop.
They take care of the many tasks necessary for troop and patrol meetings and activities to run
smoothly. By accepting the responsibilities of troop leadership, Scouts are preparing themselves
to be leaders throughout their lives.
The purpose of the Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops (ILST) course is to teach Scouts
with leadership positions about their new roles and the organizational and leadership skills needed
to most effectively reach success in that role.

This is a hands-on informative training weekend that will give you insight to the skills you need to take your Cub Scouts on outdoor events. Participants will be camping at Fort Courage.

Members of the corps are managed by the Camp Ambassador Corps Director, John McMillen.
Camp Ambassadors will stay in King Cottage and be ready to check in units by 6pm on Friday nights. Once each unit is checked in, your time is your own in camp unless you are needed. On Sunday, check out should be be completed by 11am. King Cottage has a full kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. You must provide your own bedding, towels and food for the weekend.
If you love Treasure Valley and meeting new people, this is the volunteer position for you!

Catamount Lodge Fall Induction Weekend

Current Members
With fall fast approaching, it is time once again to get together in the spirit of cheerful service and fellowship while we welcome new members to the lodge. Your registration for the event includes lodge dues for the upcoming year.
Ordeal Candidates
Congratulations! You have been elected as a candidate for membership into the Order of the Arrow!
In most organizations, those who are already a part of the group select new members. However, in the OA, your peers, many of whom are not OA members, selected you. They saw a quality inside of you that you might not be aware of, and they have faith in you and how you live the Scout Oath and Law.
About Ordeal Weekends
This is just the first step in a journey that will last a lifetime. Your next step is to attend what is called an Ordeal, the induction experience for the Order of the Arrow. At the Ordeal weekend, you will have a chance to prove your courage and self-reliance; listen to your inner thoughts; serve your fellow human cheerfully; and prove your ability to live the Scout Oath and Law.
The Order is shrouded in mystery. We closely safeguard our ceremonies and traditions. This does not mean that you cannot talk to your parents about what happens. In fact, we encourage it, as it will help you to gain a better understanding. We do, however, ask that you not discuss it with your friends who might become members themselves one day. You would ruin the experience for them.
You will have a number of chances to complete your Ordeal. The lodge holds Induction Weekends in the spring and fall of each year. You must attend one of these weekends within 18 months of being notified of your election. Otherwise, you will need to be re-elected, or need to get an extension. Ask your Lodge Adviser for additional details.
For more information about the Order of the Arrow, the Ordeal experience, what to bring, and more, please read our Information Flyer.

Den Chief Training
2026-10-25 10:00 - 13:00 | Treasure Valley Scout Reservation, 394 Pleasantdale Rd, Rutland, MA, 01543, United States
Where: Treasure Valley Scout Reservation
Cost: $15.00
Who can register: Units leaders or parents can register their Scout for this training.
A Den Chief is a Scout, Venturer or Sea Scout assisting a Cub Scout den. But the story is far more important than those words suggest as the Den Chief:
Serves as a Scouting role model for the Cub Scouts in the den, as well as the entire pack; Promotes Scouting in general and the local troop in particular; Encourages the transition of Webelos Scouts into Scouts BSA; Holds a leadership position in the troop or crew, thus fulfilling an advancement requirement in the unit.
In addition, a trained Den Chief:
Assists the den leader with planning and conducting den meetings; Understands the Cub Scouting program and the differences between Cub Scouts and other Scouting programs; Understands the den leader’s duties and confidently helps lead portions of the den meeting program; Knows a variety of resources for age-appropriate activities for Cub Scouts in the den; Brings a repertoire of activities that Cub Scouts enjoy.
This training is designed to build on each of these ideas using a framework that will allow the new Den Chief, or perhaps the experienced Den Chief looking for new ideas, to have fun and learn the role.
Adult leaders need to make sure the role is seen as important and necessary. In agreeing to accept a Den Chief’s assistance, they ensure the Den Chief has meaningful opportunities to support the den and assist with activities, to the best of the Den Chief’s ability. In this way, the den receives the many benefits of having a Den Chief while the Den Chief has opportunities to learn and grow as a leader and Scout.
Cubmasters request Den Chief help from Scoutmasters, Crew Advisors or Ship Skippers. These adults need to acknowledge the importance of Den Chiefs before the whole troop, crew or ship and make sure all members understand that the Den Chief holds a leadership position of responsibility.
Don’t miss out on this great youth training opportunity!

IOLS (Introduction to Outdoor Leadership Skills)

Where: Treasure Valley Scout Reservation
Cost: $35
This hands-on program gives adult leaders a practical introduction to the patrol method of a Scout-led troop by teaching many of the practical outdoor skills they need to lead Scouts in the out- of-doors. In addition, the teaching methods, activities, and games model the variety of teaching used in effective and engaging Scouting programs.
Hands-on participation is the best learning tool, and this course models the techniques used by effective Scoutmasters, advisors, and other leaders in the Scouting program. Attendees will see and
experience different aspects of how Scouting works while playing the role of Scouts in a troop.
Participants should leave the training experience with a full understanding of how the patrol method operates, a feeling of comfort in working with and instructing their Scouts, and an increased level of confidence taking Scouts outdoors safely. With that comes great satisfaction.
Must be present for the entire event to complete training.
Participants will be responsible for their own personal gear including tent.
Meals will be provided
Please contact Ed King if you have any specific questions about the program – ed.king@hnescouting.org

Trained leaders are critical to the success of Scouting. Every young person involved in the Scouting program needs and deserves a leader who understands the aims of the program and knows how to deliver it with enthusiasm and fun. Trained leaders are more effective at delivering the promise of Scouting because they understand their role, responsibilities, and the resources available to them.
This is a hands-on informative training weekend that will give you insight to the skills you need to take your Cub Scouts on outdoor events. Participants will be camping at Fort Courage.
Must be present for the entire event to complete training. Participants will be responsible for their own personal gear including tent.
Meals will be provided.
