| Training Cubmaster
and Assistant Cubmaster: Here are the necessary steps
that each new Cubmaster and Assistant Cubmaster should take as they enter into
Cub Scouting. 1. If you have not done so under previous
training for another leader postion, Review the “Cub Scout Leader Fast Start Training”
DVD. This is a requirement of Basic Leader Training completed by all Scout Leaders
and should be given to each new leader at time of sign-up, or email training@saugahatchee.org
to obtain a DVD. This disk contains five segments: (1) Tiger Cub Den Leader, (2)
Cub Scout Den Leader, (3) Webelos Den Leader, (4) Cubmaster and (5) Pack Committee.
If you did not receive a disk, please visit http://olc.scouting.org/info/csfs.html
to review and complete these courses that are applicable to your leader position.
When you go to that site you will be required to type the Council Number which
is 091 and your Personal ID number. Once your application has been processed by
the Council office in Columbus, you can call them to get your Personal ID number
so you will be credited by council and national for your online training. It is
very important to keep the certificate that you will be asked to print at the
end of your online training. 2. Complete Youth Protection
Training via online at http://olc.scouting.org
or complete this requirement at your District Cub Scout Basic Training event.
Again, keep your printed certificate acknowledging your training. Look for training
dates on the home page of this site or email training@saugahatchee.org
for upcoming dates. Because of the great concern the Boy
Scouts of America has for the problem of child abuse in our society, the Youth
Protection program has been developed to help safeguard both our youth and adult
members. Published and videotaped materials have been prepared to give professionals
and volunteers information on the resources available for educating our membership
about child abuse - how to avoid it, how to identify it, and how to deal with
it. These materials and local council training programs are designed to give parents
and their children basic information that will increase their awareness and sense
of personal power to assist in their own self-protection. 3.

the first part of Basic Training required for all new Boy and Cub Scout leaders.

are reached in an age-appropriate style within Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity
Scouting, and Venturing. Videos, discussions, and hands-on reinforcement are presented
during the 90-minute training session. Ideally, all unit-based volunteers—Cub
Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, and Venturing leaders—take this session at the
same time, so they understand that they are all striving for the same results
with the youth they serve. Each leader completes New Leader Essentials training
only once so if you had this training previously in a Cub Scout Leader role, you
will not need to repeat this training. 4. Attend Leader

the course. Instructors will help you learn how to set

and Leave No Trace. Each outdoor session will bring to life the pages of the Boy

Organization Representative As a chartered organization
representative (COR), you hold a key position in Scouting. While there is honor
attached to this position, it is not an "honorary" one. Your primary function
is to ensure that the chartered organization's Scouting program succeeds. The
COR is head of the "Scouting department" in the organization. Each Scouting unit
(pack, troop, team, or crew) is managed by a group of adults approved by the organization
who serve as the unit committee. The committee's principal responsibility is to
select the best-qualified leaders for the unit and see that they are supported
in carrying out the unit program. The COR maintains a close relationship with
the unit committee chairman. The goal is for the COR to report to the organization
programs, needs, and successes on a regular basis. The COR also shares with the
unit the desires and needs of the chartering organization. Thus, communication
between the organization and its Scouting program is through the chartered organization
representative. Down load a copy of Training the Chartered Organization Representative
outline HERE. ------------------------------------------ District

manner the council committee chair gives direct training leadership to the respective
