I've been told I need to take "Training", how do I do that?
The Boy Scouts of America have a variety of training opportunities for you. The basic foundation of being a leader is to complete your Youth Protection Training. Also available is Fast Start Orientation Training and This is Scouting.
In addition the Theodore Roosevelt Council provides in-person training.
