The youth leadership training continuum is designed to be the premier youth training currently available to our nation's youth.  The course material is drawn from the best of leadership courses offered in a wide variety of settings, including those taught to corporate executives.  The youth who master the leadership skills offered in the BSA courses have a great advantage that will give them a lifelong ability for success in Scouting, in their careers, in their churches, and in their personal and family lives.

The courses are built around the slogan Be-Know-Do. 

• Be encompasses may of the values of Scouting and focuses on ethical decision making, as well as how a Scout can and must put the team's needs before his own. 
• Know describes the information that the Scout needs to know to successfully fill his leadership position.  This includes not only the nuts and bolts of the position and its expectations, but what he needs to know about his team and himself in addition to the skills of teaching and leading.
• Do provides the youths with a vast set of skills to be effective in his position by employing the skills in the leadership skills toolbox. These how-to skills include communication, problem solving, planning, and resolving conflict.
