January, 1927
Training for Leadership
THE creation in 1925 of the Junior Assistant Scout
master rank, and the inauguration of the National
Training School of Professional Leadership in
Scouting, gave to our 1926 activities new elements of
strength and growth. Reports show that the Junior
Assistant Scoutmaster rank is serving a very valuable
purpose in troop life. The National Training School has
conducted six one-month intensive courses, attended by
a total of 235 men, of whom a high percentage were
scoutmasters.
In this connection, note particularly the action of the
Executive Board as regards issuance of commissions to
scout executives and others, as reported on page 56.
Scoutmasters and others wishing to qualify for positions
for professional work in Scouting will have six opportuni-
ties to attend the courses of the Training School in 1927,
