Sea Scout Adult Leader Basic Training (SSALBT)

Sea Scout Adult Leader Basic Training (SSALBT) is an important early step in training Sea Scout leaders in the skills and attributes necessary to be an effective advisor in the Ship's service delivery to youth. It is intended primarily to enhance individual knowledge of and connectivity with the BSA strategic plan, program, and resources, as well as emphasizing personal skills necessary for youth development in the Sea Scout program.

Key Facts about the course

Sea Scout Adult Leader Basic Training Provisions

SSALBT will provide participants with:

Intended Audience

The training is intended for skippers, mates, and Sea Scout committee adults. Any Scouting professional or council or district volunteer who works with Sea Scout ships are encouraged to attend. The training develops a better understanding of Sea Scouts.

The course is an intensive learning experience about the nature of the program, delivery of service to the community, and development of the youth leadership necessary for both. While it is designed to be fun, the course will mentally challenge participants, who should be open to learning and be prepared to actively engage in an invigorating training experience.

The course is designed for one-time participation.

How is the course administered

This course is organized by Sea Scouters in the local council, or by a flotilla, area, or region.

Every course should have a professional staff adviser working with a qualified volunteer course director.

It is recommended that the volunteer course director has successfully completed 'Trainers' Edge,' and work with a flotilla, area, or regional volunteer as a mentor to assist with student questions.

The course should follow the provided outline at all times. There is a place to incorporate additional information about local, area, flotilla, and regional resources and programs.

There is no insignia for course completion. There is a template for a certificate to be presented to those who complete the course.

To give those who complete the course the proper credit in their training status in ScoutNET, the code P44 should be used by the council when entering completion in the individually registered Scouters training record.

The syllabus and the certificate template can be requested by qualified instructors from your area, flotilla, regional leadership, or from the National Council or by calling 972-580-2448.
