EVERY BOY DESERVES A TRAINED LEADER!
One of the keys to a successful Scouting experience for young people, second only to the selection of the right person for each responsibility, is trained volunteer leadership. Leadership training provides adult leaders with fundamental information about the aims and methods of Scouting, as well as specifics about their particular roles. The training program is designed to meet the needs of each volunteer leadership position. These training opportunities are varied and flexible enough to reach all leaders through group training experiences, personal coaching, self-study, or on-the-job training.
Cub Scout leaders are considered trained when they have completed Cub Scout FAST Start, Youth Protection Training, New Leader Essentials, Weather Hazards and the Cub Scout Leader Specific training for their position.
Cub Start Leader Fast Start, Youth Protection Training, This Is Scouting and Weather Hazard Training can be completed on-line. Find the online training site at www.boyscouts-ncac.org. You will be required to enter your Scout Leader identification number. This number is located on the membership card you received after registering as a leader. If you don't have this card, please contact Carol Lovan at lovanfour@yahoo.com to obtain your number.
Cub Scout Leader Position Specific training must be completed at a training site. Training is conducted at the District level. Please read the District Newsletter, The Old Rag, for the latest Training dates or contact Carol Lovan at lovanfour@yahoo.com.
