Training shows new leaders hot to do their jobs and allows for an interchange of ideas with more experienced leaders.  Every Cub Scout deserves qualified, trained leaders who will provide the best program possible, the way it is intended.  Trained leaders ensure that the goals of Cub Scouts are met.  The leadership training program of the Boy Scouts of America provides this information and helps leaders become confident in carrying out their responsibilities.

WHO:  This training is intended for anyone, leaders and parents, who will be involved in planning or implementing a pack-level Cub Scout overnight event that includes camping.
