Cub Scout Training

Training for Cub Scout leaders comes in several parts, most of which can be completed in the comfort of your own home, on the internet at olc.scouting.org

Step 1 | This is Scouting
an online workshop that gives you a little history and overview of Scouting as an organization.
 

Step 2 | Fast Start
Pick the Fast Start that is right for you (Den Leaders, Cubmaster, Committee...). This will give you the info you need to get through your first couple of Den meetings. Online at olc.scouting.org
 

Step 3 | Youth Protection
This is the BSA’s child Abuse recognition and prevention training for all adult volunteers. Learn to recognize the signs of abuse, how to respond when you learn a child is being abused and how to ensure that abuse does not take place at Scout meetings and activities. MANDATORY for all Scouting volunteers . Online at olc.scouting.org or at any Job Specific Workshop.
 

Step 4 | Job Specific Training
A three hour workshop lead by experienced Cub Scout volunteers that you'll have to attend, within the first month of volunteering.  View Course Schedule
