Training
Part of being a successful Cub Scout pack requires that our adult volunteers be formally trained in various areas such as youth protection, outdoor leadership, hazardous weather, etc. These training programs not only ensure that our leaders receive the ‘required’ knowledge for the course, but also offers an entire universe of ideas and concepts that help to better shape the scouting adventures we plan for our scouts.
