      I guess mine is not enforcing it at all. I knew other councils had mandated training, heck neighboring council wanted you to have the training BEFORE ( emphasis) assuming the role. But was told National won't mandate training, except YPT.   You would think that if you had S24 showing, all the online modules would not show up as "To Do's." Why whenever I teach a class, I add my name to the Training Report.   Personally prefer inperson training to online. The interactive, personal touch is much better than the monotone online stuff, even if interactive.

      IOLS is a Position Trained requirement.  https://www.scouting.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Position-Trained-Requirements-July2024.pdf And councils are supposed to be enforcing this within six months of being in a position.  But that varies by council.  See link below for PA Dutch Council, which puts it a 12 months.  Councils are supposed to be denying position renewal without training, but I have never heard of it actually being enforced. http://padutchbsa.org/training/#:~:text=Pennsylvania Dutch Council Training Policies&text=Scouts BSA and Venturing Leaders,during the twelve month period. For the training piece, for several positions, you have the option of doing either an in-class session, or the online modules to complete the required training. For example, for the Scoutmaster role, you may complete EITHER S24, Scoutmaster Specific, OR all those course modules in the list in the first link above. We actually ask our leaders to do both in-person sessions (when available) and online modules.  It's part of our Culture of Excellence 😜 You learn different things in either training medium.  And, when done well, the in-person/interactive stuff is so much better.
