1. Courses of training are provided by authority of the State Council for Group, District, and State Leaders, in all sections. 

 

2. The training of Leaders is designed to help them bring better Scouting to the particular Section they lead.  Therefore, it is an integral part of every Leaders activity.  They are expected to undertake training opportunities so far as they are able to.  Equally, those engaged in the training of Leaders are not a separate entity but an integral part of the main structure of scouting.
