A message from Brant DAC - Development & Training

We talk a lot about resources to help us plan and deliver quality programes for our Scouting youth. Why not build yourself as a resource? Invest time into training yourself. Make YOU, your own best resource! I encourage you to review the Battlefileds Planning Calendar and consider enhancing your skills. Opportunities abound in this calendar, so take advantage of them.

There are Core Basic and Section Sepcific courses available outside the local area if you can't make the listed local dates. Keep in mind, the Scouting principle "Duty to Self". Enhance your abilities through training, to live our Scouting Mission and put smiles on young faces.

Food for thought - "make time to plan - save a lot of time by the end".
