BASIC LEADER TRAINING FOR BOY SCOUT LEADERS is offered at Hale Scout Ranch (HSR-our summer camp).  ALL adult leaders attending summer camp who are not trained in New Leader Essentials and Scoutmaster/Asst. SM training should plan on attending these sessions. The remainder of the sessions are optional, and highly encouraged so that we may continue to bring a first class program to our award winning Troop 1001 Scouts!
