All Scouts deserve a trained leader.  Basic training presents Scouting’s programs as they are intended to be run, not as someone “thinks they should be run.” Check below for the availability of upcoming basic training courses:

Cub Scout Leaders

Most of the training required to be a trained Cub Scout Leader can be completed online at my.scouting.org. The online Cub Scout Leader Training was updated to reflect the updated Cub Scout Adventures program and is a series of short (8-12 minute) modules. Completion of all modules assigned for your position will result in completion of Cub Scout Leader Basic Training.
