Sean's Scouting Pages
I picked up the following BSA litereature at the Philmont Training Center during my week there, August 11th-17th, 2002. I know that this is probably all old news by now, but suprisingly a lot of people still browse these files, so I've left them here for posterity. I've loaded the documents into Adobe Acrobat files for the greater good of the Scouts and leaders who may want to view them. If you don't have the Acrobat reader, you can download it for free from Adobe.
Character Connections is a new program recently introduced to Cub Scouting when the Tiger program was revised. It has since been incorporated into the other rank books, and is now a part of Cub Scouting literature. This flyer introduces the idea behind Character Connections for Cub Scout leaders and parents.
All Cub Scout leaders should go through Fast Start training within 48 hours of registering as a leader. This flyer introduces your leaders to the idea behind Fast Start training.
Cub Scout leaders are eligible to earn awards for having completed training, tenure and achieved certain goals. This handout explains the requirements for each award.
You can read about the different opportunities for Cub Scout camping in the 2003 Cub Scout and Webelos Scout Camping Guidelines. Of course, newer editions have since been released...
Of course, no campout is complete without learning the principles of conservation. The Leave No Trace program for Cub Scouts introduces boys and their families to the important concepts of preserving our natural resources for those that come after us.
Some material was inadvertantly left out of the 2002-2003 Cub Scout Leader Program Helps literature. See what you're missing!
The Order of the Arrow, BSA's National Honor Society, is teaming up with Cub Scouts to help the program. Read more about it in this informative brochure.
