The Junior Leader Training Conference is a week-long experience for boy leaders to provide a meaningful development for all participants to enhance their knowledge and skills and to create a deeper understanding of their roles and responsibilities as troop junior leaders.

Our Council's training committee assumes the responsibility for overseeing that the conference is adequately promoted.  The key to successful promotion is personal contact with each Scoutmaster to point out the advantages of junior leader training for the senior patrol leader or other candidates for this position.  Participants do not have to be serving currently in the role of senior patrol leader, but should have the skills and abilities to do so in the future.

The Youth Staff members of our course in 1998 chose the "Top Gun" movie to represent the theme for our Junior Leader Training Conference.  This theme provides our Staff their personal ambition to train, prepare, and present to our participants: "Scouting at its Best".  The success of our Conference is beyond what is imaginable.  It is considered an honor to be chosen to represent your Unit and our Council as a participant for Top Gun.  It is an even greater opportunity to be asked to serve on staff for this Course, and thereby representing "The Best of the Best."

You can become one of Top Gun's "Best of the Best" as a participant, after which you may become active on our Staff, and / or contribute in our efforts to teach the 11 Skills of Leadership.  For more information about Getting Involved either as a Youth or as an Adult see the tool bar below.
