2012 University of Scouting

The University of Scouting is a Scout leader’s learning adventure! It is an action packed, fun filled day of required and supplemental training where you choose the sessions that you want to take. Sessions are led by experienced volunteers who will help you enhance your ability to deliver a fun and exciting program to the scouts.

Class sessions are designed to help leaders improve their skills and increase their knowledge about Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Venturing and Commissioner Service. The University of Scouting is a single day packed with a year’s worth of program ideas and information. In addition, you will have the opportunity to meet and share ideas with Scouters from across the Denver Area.

The University of Scouting also includes Den Chief training for Boy Scouts and a Day Care for children ages 3-10 so that we may accommodate your entire family. 

Day Care will be provided at the cost of $15.00 for one child or $30.00 per family for the day. If you have children in Day Care, you must download the attached form and complete for each child attending.  Please make sure that you have it completed when you arrive at the Day Care. Please download and complete the Day Care health form. (One for each child attending)
