CUB SCOUT LEADER SPECIFIC TRAINING

Leader Specific Training
Once a volunteer has a basic understanding of the Scouting's values-based program, he or she should begin training for their specific Cub Scouting position by taking Leader Specific Training. This training provides the specialized knowledge a new leader needs to assume their leadership role.

Trained Cub Scout leaders provide a quality, fun-filled program for boys. When leaders understand the whys and hows of Cub Scouting, they are more effective in their roles. Trained leaders know how to use the available resources to provide an exciting and worthwhile program for the boys. Trained leaders also have confidence in carrying out their roles and responsibilities. As a result, Cub Scouts receive a program designed to achieve Scouting's aims of citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness.

Cub Scout Position Specific Training
There are five position specific courses for Cub Scout Leaders. The training format is hands-on, instructor lead classes. They are usually held simultaneously, at the same location, so all of the leaders in a pack can be trained at the same time. They are:

• Tiger Den Leader Position Specific Training

• Webelos Den Leader Position Specific Training
• Pack Committee Member Position Specific Training
• Cubmaster Position Specific Training
