E-Training For New Program

[Erbaciousk]

It is worth it to research what other councils in your area are offering in the way of training. You don't have to take the training in your home council; the certification card is a standard BSA training certification card. I missed my council's spring BALOO course, and found it offered on a more convenient day, and for a better price, by another council in my state. I had to travel across the state to attend, but fortunately New Jersey is a small state and I was able to complete the training. The only real downside was that the trainers shared some local information (regarding in-council parks and campsites) that was useless to me, and perhaps my local council's training would have been more valuable in that regard, but the rest of the training was fine.

Well, here we are on the evening of July 6th, and the online training hasn't been updated yet. No updates on myscouting.org either. I guess they are running behind on implementation.
