CUB SCOUT LEADER SPECIFIC TRAINING - FULL COURSE AND UPGR ADES (ONLINE)
Gets you up to speed in your new Cub Scout position. This training is focused on teaching the new leader, or leader who is moving to a new position, just how easy and fun Cub Scouting can be! If you are training for the first time as a Cub Scout Leader, you must take the full course. If you are already a trained Cub Scout leader, moving to a new position, and have already taken the full course, then you should take a much shorter upgrade course. The upgrade course will involve only specific information and skills you will need for your new position.
[Pack XXX] believes in having all of its leaders fully trained so that they may wear the "TRAINED" patch on their Scouting Uniform, providing all of our Scouts with a fun-filled, safe, and action-packed program! For new leaders, or those that are changing positions, we encourage you to become "Trained" as soon as possible.
