Cub Scouting's "Seamless Training Continuum"

Fast Start Training: While useful as an information tool for families new to Scouting, Fast Start training's major impact is on new Cub Scout leaders. Delivered immediately after a leader registers and before he or she meets with any youth members, the videotapes and related printed materials provide an immediate comfort level that enables a new leader to say, "I can do this!" (For example, Fast Start provides Cub Scout leaders with information on planning and conducting their first meeting and demonstrates a model meeting they can use.)
New Leader Essentials: After Fast Start for unit-level leaders in all programs comes New Leader Essentials, a 90-minute course that examines the values, aims, history, funding, and methods of Scouting. It emphasizes, for example, the age-appropriate content of Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity, and Venturing programs, and how Scouting's values and methods work together.
Leader Specific Training: Leader Specific Training follows, preparing volunteers for their individual responsibilities, such as den leader, Cubmaster, or committee member. Cub Scout unit leaders and committee members can complete this training in one day or two evenings. They qualify as "trained" upon completion of New Leader Essentials and Leader Specific Training for their position.
Outdoor Leader Training: Outdoor Leader Training is a leader's opportunity to learn the tricks of the trade in boys the outdoor skills offered in the Webelos program. They will discover interesting methods for teaching the outdoorsman, geologist, naturalist and forester activities badges as well as how and where to take the boys camping.
Wood Badge for the 21st Century: Once leaders qualify as officially trained for their positions, they are ready for the BSA's top leadership course, Wood Badge for the 21st Century. Less focused on outdoor skills, the redesigned course strengthens volunteers' ability to work with and lead groups of youth and adults. It is designed to give leaders the tools to understand how teams work; know what leadership style is appropriate to use in various situations; manage conflict; plan; communicate; and understand how to set a vision and make it come to life.
Supplemental Training: Includes monthly roundtables, Cub Scout Leader Pow-Wow, BALOO, and other specifc training opportunities.
