Venturing Leadership Skill Course
-
The Venturing Leadership Skills Course
is the first step a Venturer encounters on his or her
journey toward leadership development. This course is
designed to be used by Advisors to teach leadership
skills to all Venturers in the crew. It has nine
leadership modules that begin with an activity and
follow with a reflection. Completion of this course is a
requirement for the Venturing Silver Award, and
conducting the course is a requirement for the Venturing
Advisor Award of Merit.

Kodiak
-
The Kodiak course combines the elements
of leadership and service to others as the two key
tenants of Venturing. Servant leadership is a philosophy
that teaches the leader to work with and through a team
to accomplish the mission.
-
Kodiak's methods are the following:
Challenging outdoor treks to use nature as a classroom
(no indoor sessions). Five leadership skills, called
"commissions," are taught. They can be offered
over a week, or over two weekends. It uses a hands-on
teaching approach with very short presentations.

Kodiak X
-
This supplementary addition to the
Kodiak course adds an additional two leadership
commissions and completes the final leadership skills
training.
Sea Scout
Advanced Leadership Training (SEAL)
Venturing has a new
leadership training course specially designed for the Sea
Scouting program. It is called Sea Scout Advanced
Leadership Training (SEAL). This is a one week,
hard core leadership course that is conducted at sea. If
you successfully complete the course you will be awarded
the SEAL Training award, which is a silver pin with twin
dolphins, to be worn on your uniform.
This course is a
leadership course, not a seamanship course. The course
covers such topics as preparing, goal setting, organizing,
supervising, commanding, communicating, training,
motivating and other topics that will assist you in
functioning as a leader in your Ship and in life.
