Next Leaders Meeting 11am Saturday @ Lamar Avenue Church of Christ Park on West side and come in the office entrance.

Leaders News and Events School Night for Scouting Well the "NEW and IMPROVED" version of this recruitment works pretty well. Thus far we have added 30 new scouts and 2 new leaders and I promise the whole thing was a whole lot less stressful than usual. Hats off to the sports signup idea. Leaders just wanna have FUN ! ! ! If you're not having fun being a leader, then you're doing it wrong. Go back and review why you're doing this and start eliminating things that aren't fun. Talk it over with your Cubmaster and other Scouters, re-take training, check out Cub Scout Leader resources. Start changing things, because if you're not having fun then no one else is either. Did you know ... Enthusiasm is contagious? If you aren't excited about Cub Scout adventures then you can't expect your Tiger or Cub to be. Planning and preparation for each activity should be filled with excitement and great expectations. Don't cheat your boys – or yourself – out of a GREAT TIME ! ! ! Online Training from BSA Boy Scouts of America is now offering online courses in leader training: Youth Protection Online Training, Cub Leader Fast Start Online Training, and Scout Leader Fast Start Online Training.

I AM A DEN LEADER I own a hot glue gun, a ring toss game, an American flag, and a 12-passenger van. I know all about tour permits, permission slips, and registration forms. save bits of string, scraps of lumber, old tin cans, and a whole garage full of newspaper. I AM A DEN LEADER I get excited over paper sack kites that really fly, boys who remember to bring their books, and first aid kits that finally sell. I laugh at Boy's Life jokes, cheer for my den kick ball teams, sing Frankenstein songs at pack meetings, and have laughed and wept with my Cubs through the years. I AM A DEN LEADER I have bribed new Cubs through the Bobcat trail, herded unruly boys along library tours, puffed my way up steep mountain tracks, and panicked when I looked down the other side. I have threatened to quit more than once. BUT I AM STILL A DEN LEADER My patch says I'm "trained", but I know I still have a lot to learn from district and council leaders, Cubmasters, other den leaders, and especially my boys. And I still have one more lesson to teach. I will not give up, especially on any of my boys. SO I AM STILL A DEN LEADER I like to think there is a special place in heaven reserved for den leaders. Surely, they would have a need for bird feeders and barometers and someone who could love a dirty faced Cub Scout. I hope when I die there is a hot glue gun plugged in and waiting. I AM A DEN LEADER ... BECAUSE IT MATTERS!
