This
page is intended to make you aware of up-coming training opportunities for
adults in the Sandlake District. Anyone can take this training, but if you want to
be an Assistant Scoutmaster (ASM) for Troop 6, please consult with the
Scoutmaster (Brett Courier) first.
REMEMBER: Please provide a copy of your training certificate(s) to
the Adult Training Chairperson (currently Scott Hartog) for the Troop records
for ANY scout-related training that you take -- on-line or in person.
DISTRICT AND COUNCIL LINKS FOR TRAINING INFORMATION
The training webpage for the Sandlake
District is...
The page is much sparser now than in previous years
so it is probably better to go to the council training calendar. The training
calendar for all districts can be found at the following link by clicking on
the “Training Calendar” link on the left.

All adults registered on the Troop 6 roster must be

tab of the Troop 6 website here... http://www.scout-troop6.org/20.html.
