You are a new Scouts BSA leader, and you need some guidance. We are here for you! There are so many resources out there to help you on your leadership quest. Working with existing leaders, attending Roundtables, and taking Training are all great ways to learn the ropes. Below are some resources you can use on your own to make your leadership experience a great one. (ps – If you are an experienced Scouter, you are welcome to use these, too! :) ).
