Pellissippi State Community College

The University of Scouting is a fun learning experience, and is the largest supplemental training course offered by the Great Smoky Mountain Council to Scouting volunteers at all levels.

Courses will be offered for Cub Scout Leaders, Boy Scout Leaders, Venturing Leaders, and District Committees. All are invited to attend the courses in the college(s) of their choice. The University of Scouting will broaden understanding and knowledge of the Scouting program through course sessions on specific topics.
