Once a volunteer has a solid overview of the BSA's values-based program, he or she can begin training for a specific Scouting position through Leader Specific training. This training provides the specialized knowledge a new leader needs to assume a leadership role. Because each course is designed for a specific leadership position, the training time varies. Leader Specific training has been developed for the following positions and their assistants:
- Den Leaders: Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos
- Cubmasters
- Pack committee members
- Scoutmasters
- Troop committee members
- Venturing committee members
- Venturing Advisors
