Welcome to University of Scouting

The Latin phrase “ESTOTE PARATI” found on our shield means “Be Prepared.”

University of Scouting is designed to help you Be Prepared, further your

knowledge, enhance your skills, and grow your network so you can better

delivery of the Promise of Scouting.

To all of those who attended prior year’s University of Scouting, we say

“Welcome Back.” To those who are attending for the first time, we welcome you

and hope you find your time well spent. We know your time is valuable; we

appreciate your willingness to spend it here. We have a dedicated staff that is

ready to share experience, knowledge, and ideas to help you deliver a fun and exciting program.

This is our first year at Tarrant County College – Trinity River Campus and

we anticipate many more years at this wonderful facility. Located at

300 Trinity Campus Circle, Fort Worth, Texas 76102 this campus is centrally

located in historic downtown Fort Worth. You will discover the campus to

be beautifully designed and full of amenities.

Inside this Course Catalog you will find registration information, course fees, and information on

the degree program. You will also find the course offerings for each of the Colleges: Cub Scouting,

Boy Scouting, Varsity/Venturing, Outdoor Ethics, General Studies, and Youth Development.

You will have the opportunity to meet and share ideas with other like-minded individuals in the

area. We encourage you to use your time between classes for networking – meet up with old

friends and make new friends. The University Midway is a great place for you to learn more about

Council programs, training event, Scouting ideas, community partners, and maybe win a prize.

Of course, this event would not happen without the exceptional dedication and support of many

volunteers; instructors, administrative staff, and Council Staff. Their efforts to make this a

mountain top experience are appreciated.
