committee was a group of adults, led by the team committee chair, who plan the team program and activities and manage record keeping, finance, leadership recruitment and registration. The team generally met weekly providing a pre-planned program. It was led by a youth who is elected as captain who was guided by the team Coach and assistant team Coaches. The Coach had to be at least 21 and was directly responsible for training and guiding boy leaders, working with other adults to bring Varsity Scouting to boys and for using the methods of Scouting to achieve the aims of Scouting. The team was divided into squads of eight to ten Varsity Scouts, led by an elected squad leader. Program managers are assigned as needed to take charge of team activities. New leaders were encouraged to attend training for their position. This training provided the essential information they need to provide a safe and successful quality program. Fast Start Training was the introduction for adult leaders new to the Varsity Scout program. Fast Start was self paced and provided as a video or online video. Youth Protection Training is required for all adult leaders and must be recertified per local council policy.
