Every Scout deserves a trained leader. University of Scouting is the premier training event in the Crossroads of America Council, and is the easiest way for you to achieve this goal. This training event is designed to supplement the educational experience for any Scouting leader.  On any average year the university offers 80 to 100 different courses. From outdoor skills such as teaching knots to group management concepts to help keep that unruly den of Scouts on task.  The University of Scouting has courses for first time leaders to experienced leaders planning a high adventure expedition. 

Degrees and courses are available in three “Colleges” related to Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, and General Studies.  The course numbers for each College is preceded by a “CS” for Cub Scout classes, “BS” for Scouts BSA classes, “GS” for General Studies, and Ph.D. for the Doctoral program.

Each College offers a Bachelor and Masters degree program while there is only one Doctor of Scouting program offered by the University.
