2026 Connecticut
University of Scouting

Saturday March 14, 2026
181 Randolph Road, Middletown, CT 06082

Connecticut Rivers, Connecticut Yankee, and Housatonic Councils are teaming up to offer the Connecticut University of Scouting.


We are here to provide you with a wide range of training opportunities, shared experiences, and knowledge that is suitable for the best of our Scout leadership.


Learning opportunities at the University of Scouting are being offered through three colleges: the College of Scouting, the College of Cub Scouting, the College of General Studies, and the College of Commissioner Sciences.


There are also the School of Culinary Arts and the School of Health and Safety. Each year, the University of Scouting offers new classes while maintaining popular courses from past years. Our sessions cover traditional topics that supplement and expand upon the basic Boy Scouts of America training programs.


We offer the unusual, the non-traditional, and often unexpected subjects, taught by Scouters with specialized skills and knowledge. Explore the programs we have to offer and take this unique opportunity to broaden your skills. We provide a full day of serious training and an opportunity to network far greater than is available within your own unit.
