Five courses are required to be a fully trained Scoutmaster.

just before Scoutmaster Specific Training. (This course and
Fast Start are the same for Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. Need to
show you have completed both before taking the next course.)

Scoutmaster Specific Training (6 hour course on a
Saturday. Prequisites are 1 and 2 above.)
-
Scoutmaster Outdoor Leader Training (1 weekend if
done as an overnight (Saturday AM to Sunday PM) or two Saturdays if
"no overnight" option is used).

online). Must be taken every 2 years.
