Training Resources

Den Leader training is a priority!  The success of every Pack depends on having well-trained leaders.  They not only bring a quality program to their boys, but they have more fun doing it.  Everything we do in Scouting has a purpose.  Training is the key to recognizing, understanding and achieving the purpose behind each activity.  Training is vitally important to give our children a safe and focused scouting program.

All registered Cub Scout leaders must now complete the following four training courses to earn the Trained Leader emblem:  

On line courses can be found at www.myscouting.org.  Create a new account and enter in your membership ID # (call Stacy Rosignal if you don’t know your ID) and begin your journey in becoming a trained leader.  As you complete each training segment please print out the "certificate" and mail or scan/e-mail a copy to Stacy Rosignal, Committee Chair.

Online Courses

Youth Protection

The Boy Scouts of America places the greatest importance on creating the most secure environment possible for our youth members. To maintain such an environment, the BSA developed numerous procedural and leadership selection policies and provides parents and leaders the following online, video, and print resources for the Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing programs. **Effective June 1, 2010, ALL registered scouters must complete Youth Protection Training before their application or recharter is accepted**. Youth Protection Training must be repeated every two years.

Fast Start Training

Fast Start training provides an immediate comfort level for new leaders and enables them to say, “I can do this!”Fast Start training is the first step for any new volunteer and is to be delivered immediately after a new leader registers and before he or she meets with any youth member. Click the following link to select an online Fast Start training module.

This is Scouting

While continuing to address many of the “essentials” that give beginning adult leaders an understanding of the program, the new training, titled, “This Is Scouting,” stresses some important points for leaders to consider as the BSA moves forward into the future. Although continuing to address organization, goals, history and traditions, and funding, the new course places increased emphasis on the BSA’s mission, vision, and values; its programs for boys of all ages and abilities; its role in the community; its aim to protect youth members; and its legacy. And it stresses the fun boys can have when they join Scouting.

Position Specific Training

Once the new leader obtains a solid overview of the BSA’s values-based program, he or she can begin training for a specific Scouting position through Leader Specific training. This training provides the specialized knowledge a new leader needs to assume a leadership role. Because each course is designed for a specific leadership position, the training time varies. A different Leader Specific training course has been developed for each leadership position:

- Tiger Cub Den Leaders and Assistants,

- Wolf and Bear Den Leaders and Assistants,

- Webelos Den Leaders and Assistants,

- Cub Masters and Assistants, and

- Committee Members.

This training must be taken whenever your position changes.
