Fast Start training provides immediate help for the new leader by providing information and examples for planning and conducting the first meeting. Five different Fast Start programs are available: The New Tiger Cub Den Leader, The New Cub Scout Den Leader, The New Webelos Den Leader, The New Cubmaster, and The Pack Committee.
Materials for this video- and DVD-based self-study training include the Cub Scout Leader Fast Start video, No. AV-01V022A and No. DVD-01V022A, and the Cub Scout Leader Fast Start Viewer Guide, available online (go to Cub Scouts, then Adult Leaders/Training) at the BSA Website, www.scouting.org, or through your local council. The pack lends the new leader the video on DVD and provides the Viewer Guide for the leader to keep. Every pack should maintain copies of the video and viewer guide in the pack library.
Cub Scout Leader Fast Start is also available to new leaders on the Internet through most local council Web sites.
Highly recommended for all leaders in direct contact with youth, this comprehensive training course guides leaders and parents on the do's and don'ts of working with youth. At all times, the youths' safety is the number one priority. Leaders need to know the rules for keeping themselves safe, too! This training is offered at the unit level--usually by the pack trainer, at the district and council levels, and online on most council Web sites.
Basic Leader Training has two parts:
Leader Specific Training -- by Scouting position. In Cub Scouting,
specific training is offered for Cubmasters and assistants, pack committee
members, Tiger Cub den leaders, Cub Scout den leaders and assistants, and
Webelos den leaders and assistants.
New Leader Essentials -- for all leaders in Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting,
and Venturing. Materials used in Basic Leader Training include the "New Leader
Essentials" manual, No. 34870; a poster set, No. 34872; and a video, No. 34873,
as well as the "Cub Scout Leader Specific Training" manual, No. 34875; posters,
No. 34876; and video, No. 34878.
Roundtables are a form of commissioner service and supplemental training for volunteers at the pack level. Roundtables give volunteers examples for pack and den meetings; information on policy, events, and training opportunities; ideas for crafts, games, and ceremonies; and an opportunity to share experiences and enjoy fun and fellowship. These meetings help volunteers provide a stronger program for Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts.
Unit Leadership Enhancements are short training discussions held as part of the monthly pack leaders' meeting and are conducted by the pack's own leaders. They help pack and den leaders become better equipped to conduct a quality Cub Scouting program. Information on these enhancements is in the Cub Scout Leader Book, No. 33221.
This training, No. 13-33640, is available from your local council. It provides specialized training for Webelos leaders in outdoor skills and program.
The pow wow is a Cub Scout leader's learning extravaganza!--a big, fun-filled experience where Cub Scouting leaders increase their knowledge, improve their skills, and gain enthusiastic attitudes about Cub Scouting.
