15The success of Scouting in the Lincoln Heritage Council has for over 102 years depended entirely on the quality and strength of the volunteers that deliver meaningful weekly programs to its 29,000 Scouts. The ability of volunteers to deliver that weekly program is strengthened by quality training at the district and council level. TheLincoln Heritage Council has much to be proud of in the area of quality training.

The University of Scouting is a one-day training event that offers workshops for Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Venturing, Commissioner, and District Committee volunteers. There will be two different Universities offered this again this to allow as many of our volunteers as possible to attend this training opportunity, The council training committee has assembled the best trainers in the council, and hasselected a wide spectrum of individual workshops that will strengthen each volunteers ability to deliver better Scouting for our youth. We think you will agree that the range of workshops available through the University of Scouting will improve your leadership skills and deepen your understanding of the impact Scouting has on young people. Encourage every volunteer and interested parent to take the time to attend; we are sure that they will walk away with not only new skills and ideas, but with some new and renewed passion for Scouting.
