Leadership Development Conference

The Leadership Development Conference (LDC) is a leadership training put on by Wauna La-Mon’tay Lodge. LDC is open to any Scout who wants to come – Arrowman or otherwise. LDC isn’t just for experienced scouts – any scout, regardless of leadership experience or ability, is welcome. At LDC, leadership skills are taught in a hands-on environment through games and interactive classes. New this year are three program “tracks” for scouts of various leadership experience levels. These tracks offer more specialized trainings than what was available in past LDC’s.

New Scout

This track puts an emphasis on basic leadership. Scouts will learn the required material to best lead a patrol. Skills learned include how to lead small groups, decision making, goal setting, and other essential leadership knowledge. Experiences from this course can be carried over to larger leadership positions later in scouting. This track is best for newer scouts, from age 11-13. Skills learned in this track will build a foundation for good leadership in the future. 14-15 year olds may take this course if they haven’t had a leadership position before or aren’t confident in their basic leadership abilities.

Advanced Scout

This track is designed to empower scouts to become a Senior Patrol Leader. Advanced leadership skills are used in this course to improve upon previous experience and training. Scouts that have graduated from this course will have the knowledge and skill to effectively and correctly lead their troop as a role model and leader. Older scouts from age 14-16 will find that this track will utilize skills that they already have and teach them what they don’t know so that they will be the best leader they can be. This track is designed for 14-16 year olds with leadership experience, or those that have already attended an LDC, NYLT, or a Troop training.
