About Leadership Heights
Leadership Heights helps Scouts take their leadership to all-new heights! This half-day, unit scheduled program has four components: Launch, Experiences, Speaker Series and Elevate. After gathering in Action Point and then hiking to the J.W. Marriott, Jr. Leadership Center, Scouts will engage in a series of interactive experiences that test their leadership, communication, and team-building skills. Compelling speakers who are prominent leaders from different industries, nonprofits, universities, and the military will help shape a Scout’s understanding and appreciation for leading and leadership. The experience is topped off by Elevate, an immersive experience that will challenge Scouts and ask for their commitment to lead our world ‘forward'.
