The journey from Fast Start to Wood Badge is a seamless progression for adults and an unending benefit for BSA youth.
All leaders must take the Youth Protection Training it is available online (see the link below)< http://olc.scouting.org >
Fast Start Orientation and New Leader Essentials: The first two steps in new-leader training, introducing new leaders to the Boy Scouting program.
Leader Specific Training: Focuses on specific leader roles and, for some positions, will require several days to complete, depending on an individual's previous outdoor skills experience.
Wood Badge has evolved into the premier leadership course of the BSA, strengthening a leader's ability to effectively work with groups of youth and adults.
