Lighthouse District - Cub Leader Specific Training Posted Aug. 17, 2010
As you start to prepare for another years activities for your unit, you also need to start planning for new adult leadership in your units. Did some of your adults cross over with their boys and left holes in your adult leadership positions? Here is a chance to get some of your new adults trained and ready for action. On September 18, 2010 the Lighthouse District Training committee will be hosting a Cub leader specific training class. This is part of the new requirements that all adult leaders need to be trained. This comes just as many of your units will be getting their programs underway but think about those that may be able to help in your unit and get them to sign up for this class.

Lighthouse District - Baloo Training Posted Aug. 15, 2010
Have you taken the cub specific training? If you have the next step is to take the BALOO Training. This is the outdoor portion of the adult training. Help your unit put together the best program possible for your boys. By being a trained leader you are making sure that your unit is doing its part to being a quality unit in scouting. It helps to keep the boys interested and engaged and will most likely make them want to continue on into Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts is dependent on Cubs coming in with an energy and commitment to help them make it all the way to Eagle. You can be a part of that by being a trained leader.
