Course fee: $10 for leaders registered in Old Colony Council; $15 for out-of-council leaders.* This fee covers the cost of lunch, snacks, and training supplies.
*Old Colony Council leaders get a discount because basic leader training costs are subsidized by an activity fee that all of our Scouts pay with their annual registration.

Pre-registration is required (no walk-ins allowed) because the volunteer training staff need a head count to prepare supplies. Our registration deadline is Wednesday, May 3.
