Cub Scout Leader Position-Specific Training

Studies show that trained leaders provide a higher quality Scouting program that attracts and retains members.  Studies also show that boys who stay in Scouting five or more years have even greater benefits from Scouting. 

The various training programs provided by Scouting will not only benefit Scouts, but also have a positive impact on adults.

Cub Scout Leader Position-Specific, along with “Youth Protection Training”, “This is Scouting”, and “Cub Scout Fast Start” will meet the requirements for a leader to be fully trained.

Training has been developed to give new leaders the knowledge and skills needed to be successful. The first part is an introduction to Scouting and the Cub Scout Pack. The second part is a module on how Cub Scouts have fun in the pack and the den. The third part is specific training for each of the major Cub Scout leader positions in the pack; Cubmaster, Den Leader, Pack Committee and Pack Trainer.

These training sessions are available on line here.

These training sessions are also available in classroom settings throughout the Council.  For training session availability dates, visit the council calendar. 

OWL (Outdoor Webleos Leader) Training

OWL training is NOT just for Webelos leaders! It is for all Cub Scout leaders who may at some point be leading a Webelos den or helping a Webelos leader. If you are a Bear leader, now is the perfect time to attend! You will experience the training as a Webelos Scout. The training does not cover advanced outdoor skills, but rather the basic skills you will need when working with Webelos. Please register online here. We are unable to accept walk in registrants at this event.
