Training 
(can be red or green)
The first training for a new leader is to:
- Take Youth Protection (MANDATORY) – every registered
adult must be re-certified every two years.
Den Leader Position-Specific Training - taught at district or council training courses.
This course is intended to provide Lion, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, and Webelos den leaders with the information and tools they need to conduct successful den meetings. Den leaders who complete the Lion, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, and Webelos training, along with Youth Protection training, are considered trained for their position.
Cubmaster and Assistant Cubmaster Position-Specific Training - taught at district or council training courses.
This course is intended to provide Cubmasters with the information and tools they need to successfully lead a Cub Scout pack. Cubmasters and assistants who complete this training and Youth Protection training are considered “trained” for both positions.
Pack Committee Challenge—Pack Committee Position-Specific Training - taught at district or council training courses.
The Pack Committee Challenge is designed for pack committees and is the course (along with Youth Protection training) pack committee members need to be considered “trained.”
Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO)
This one day course is designed as an introduction to the Cub Scout outdoor program for those leaders who are interested in adding a camping component to their Pack activities. BALOO is an instructor-led course which is conducted at the Council level. BSA's Cub Scout level camping policies will be taught along with the necessary tools to help units carry out a successful camping experience.
Completion of this course is mandatory for at least one adult on a Pack overnighter.
The course syllabus is available from your local council or through Scoutstuff.org .
Outdoor Leader Skills for Webelos Leaders (OWL) - taught at district or council training courses.
This course is designed to help Webelos leaders enhance the outdoor program for the Webelos Scouts in their den by teaching some basic outdoor skills as well as skills needed to complete many of the Webelos activity badges. This course can be taught as a stand-alone experience but is often presented in conjunction with Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS).
As a Roundtable Commissioner and Cub Trainer I have designed a magnetic Uniforming game kit and the answers for an overhead. I use four sets and divide the leaders into 4 groups and let them have fun putting on the patches and pins. If you want a set designed for your council using your Council shoulder strip drop me a line. I will need a clear copy of your strip. (about 300 dpi is great)
