Scoutology

Scouting Training and Classes for Youth and Adults 

What is Scoutology? Scoutology is Blackhawk Area Council's official day of training! This is an opportunity for Cub Scout, Scouts BSA and Venturing Scout Leaders (and Scouts) to gain valuable skills and information that will help them in their Scouting journey. Scoutology is a chance for you to meet other Scout leaders in the area and exchange ideas, reconnect with old friends, and make new ones! We are offering a variety of classes including campfire cooking, hiking ideas, pinewood derby time, learning the Patrol Method, and more. Registration for specific course sessions will be sent as a follow-up email with additional details about Scoutology and a link to an online form where you can select your courses. 

Coffee and Water will be available in the morning and lunch will be provided. For allergens and dietary restrictions, please indicate on your registration and we will reach out to figure out the best way to accommodate your needs.
