The training is conducted by highly qualified youth staff under the supervision of adult advisers using Boy Scouts of America  leadership skills and concepts. Throughout the week, the staff will be modeling the concepts and skills that are the core content of the course. The focus of each session is not only knowledge but giving the youth a "Toolbox of Leadership Skills" that prepares them for any leadership role in Scouting or in school. .
