Leader Training

Every Youth Deserves a Trained Leader
Cub Scouts, a young man's first steps into the world of Scouting! For many leaders this will be their first steps into the Scouting world as well. Pack 107 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.

What Makes a 'Trained' Adult Leader?

  • Youth Protection training (REQUIRED for all leaders, re-take every 2 years)
  • Cub Scout Leader Specific training for their position (REQUIRED for a TRAINED patch)
  • Fast Start training (OPTIONAL)
  • This is Scouting training (OPTIONAL)
Remember to let the Pack Trainer know when you have taken any course so the Pack training records can be updated.

Cub Scout Leader Specific Training - full course and upgrades (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 should take the full course. If you have taken this course already and are moving to a new position, then you could take a much shorter upgrade course if available or the new position's Fast Start option. When offered, the upgrade course will involve only specific information and skills you will need for your new position.
