Cub Scout Leader Training

Cub Scout leaders must first complete Youth Protection.  This course must be recertified every 2 years.  It is available in each district based on the district's training schedule and it is available online through the Online Learning Center (http://www.my.scouting.org)


There is also a DVD course in youth protection called ?It Happened to Me?.  This course is meant to be a training/discussion with the youth members to help them recognize and avoid dangerous situations.
