Training for the new Cub Scout Volunteer

CUB SCOUT LEADER FAST START TRAINING

Fast Start Training is a brief introduction to the Cub Scout program that will equip you with the basic skills and information that you will need as a new Cub Scout leader. There are two ways in which to view Fast Start Training. The first is through a VHS videotape with 20-minute segments for the Cubmaster, Den Leaders, Webelos Den Leader, and basic Pack Organization. Your pack committee has a copy of their own that you may borrow, or copies are available for check-out from the Scout Service Center. For individuals with Internet access, you may view Fast Start Training by visiting the BSA Online Learning Center
