James E. West, the first Chief Scout Executive, was asked in the early days of Scouting to identify the three most important needs of the young Scout organization. After careful thought, Mr. West responded, "Training, more training and still more training".

Training continues to be a top priority of the Boy Scouts of America today. The Trainer Development Conference is part of a continuous process of updating trainers with the latest training methods, principles, and technologies.

Every boy deserves a well trained leader, and every leader deserves a well trained trainer.
