New On-Line BSA Trainings Touch on Important Topics 
Including How to Support Scouts With ADHD

Supplemental Training Modules  
(Link here: http://www.scouting.org/boyscouts/supplemental/)
Supplemental training modules are designed to provide orientation beyond the basic training offered in New Leader Essentials and leader-specific training. Each module is a unit of training that can be used as an outline for a group, for personal coaching, or for self-study. Most of the outlines should require about an hour to complete. Consider each unit of study to be an introduction to the subject. Scouters are welcome to download subjects that are of interest for personal or unit use. There are no training credits associated with the completion of these units of study. Additional training units are being developed and will be continually added to this site.
