Pros

The SCA management is very supportive and understanding, and the organization rewards loyalty well so there is plenty of room for advancement within the organization.

Cons

I can't really think of anything, sometimes the SCA can seem a bit disorganized because of the many program which are simultaneously running.

Pros

For those seeking experience in this field, excellent opportunity. Great mission and chance to work with youth. Prior experience and leadership is a plus. Training is provided, but is not enough to fully develop necessary skills if you are entering with none.

Cons

Training is minimal, little control over placement on national crews for new leaders.
