A Few Words About Training:
Training is available and encouraged for each Scouting position. It begins with a video called Fast Start which demonstrates the basic needs of each position in Cub Scouting in under an hour.
The next step is to attend New Leader Essentials which will guide you in the Scouting program in three hours or less. Then you should attend Leader Specific Training, which will give you what you need for whichever position in Scouting that you serve.
Attending your district’s Roundtable will keep you informed and give you the chance to meet with other Cub Scout leaders in your area and share their expertise. These free sessions are well worth the time. Ask your Cubmaster about when and where your roundtables occur.
Roundtable:
Roundtables occur monthly and are organized by your District. At roundtables leaders discuss upcoming events and share Den meeting, Pack meeting, and other ideas. Oftentimes roundtable organizers offer craft and activity ideas for Dens and Packs.
