TREX is the Greater New York Councils’ Training Extravaganza, an annual collection of training courses organized and taught by volunteer Scouter instructors.

Whether its learning about fundraising, communications, youth safety, camping and outdoor programs, using technology and more- you can learn about it and bring the skills back to your Scouting unit to improve on the experiences for our youth members. You don’t want to miss the Training Extravaganza!

Volunteers helping Volunteers become better Leaders So that Youth can be better Adults

TrEx Instructors are Scouters just like you, who have experiences and solutions to share. Most sessions have the value of discussion and interactive Q&A.

What a great forum to benefit from someone else’s learnings and adapt them to your own Scouting needs, as well as sharing your experiences and what you have learned.  You should also take this opportunity to participate in a session in a different Scouting program area and apply what you learn to your own current program area.

TrEx will offer up to over 40 periods of training options  in the Cub Scout & Scouts BSA Programs as well as courses that apply to all and other areas of Scouting.

2023 Training Extravaganza Schedule

*Please Note* Those that have attended Trex previously will notice there is not a scheduled Opening Ceremony in the Auditorium this year. Brooklyn Technical High School is great at accommodating us; we are able to use their class rooms and resourses but because of a scheduled performance will not have access to the auditorium. Please keep on eye on your email for Pre-Trex information like Classroom Numbers, Maps, and downloadable handouts.

As we know from past events at Brooklyn Tech, Schedule details like room numbers may change, we’ll have QR Codes on site to scan for access to live updating Schedules, Announcements, and class check-in so that you can get credit for the courses you attend.
