Cub Scouting: A New Delivery Method!
 

Beginning September 2010, Cub Scout den and pack meeting will use a New Delivery Method, originally known as Cub Scouts 2010.  Replacing the traditional den and pack meeting model of using monthly themes, den meeting activities will now center around advancement requirements.  As a result, new program materials have been written and the current version of Cub Scout Leader Position-Specific Training is being revised to address these program changes.


Development of materials to support the rollout of the new delivery method of Cub Scouting is complete.  The training syllabus and other supporting material is available through our Scout shops, as well as ScoutStuff.org


New resources include the following:


Literature:

  • Den & Pack Meeting Resource Guide (printed) - new - replaces Cub Scout Program Helps
  • Den & Pack Meeting Resource Guide (online)  - new - (see note below)
  • Cub Scout Leader Book - revised
  • Webelos Leader Guide - revised
  • 2010-2011 Cub Scout Roundtable Guide - new - Roundtable programs will now focus on the core values of Cub Scouting rather than monthly themes.
The Den and Pack Meeting Resource Guide is available online in two forms: a no-fee download of individual den and pack meeting plans at the National web site, or a for-fee download of the full publication via ScoutStuff.org.

Training:

  • Fast Start Training (online) - revised- currently online as of May 5. There is now one "Den Leader Fast Start Training" for Tiger Cub, Cub Scout, and Webelos den leaders.
     
  • Position Specific Leader Training with CD (literature) - revised
     
  • There will be a new version of Cub Scout Position Specific Leader Training that is scheduled to go online via the E-Learning Center at MyScouting.org. Leaders will no longer be required to take "Leader Specific" training for Tiger, Cub and Webelos.

In addition, you will begin to see new covers on many other Cub Scout leader publications so that there is a unified look for the brand. New covers will start appearing for the following publications as the Supply Group needs additional inventory. Note, however, that the content remains the same -- the new cover does not make the "old" version obsolete.

  • Cub Scout Leader How-To Book
  • Cub Scout Academics and Sports Program Guide
  • Cub Scout Ceremonies for Dens and Packs
  • BALOO - Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation
