“Because Every Cub Scout Deserves a Trained Leader”

Rick Cronk, Boy Scouts of America National President, believes in TRAINING and is challenging all Cub Scout Packs across America to increase the percent of trained leaders in their unit.

Did you know that trained leaders provide an active quality program at the den and pack level? They keep their Tiger Cubs, Cub Scout, and Webelos Scouts coming back for more fun week after week and month after month. Mount Baker Council wants your Cub Scout Pack to provide the best program possible. And trained leaders will increase Cub retention and leader tenure for your unit.

Your Cub Scout Pack is invited to join Packs across Mount Baker Council in accepting Cronk’s Challenge. Here is what you need to do:

• Sign up to be part of Cronk’s Challenge. Download, print and return the form to your District Training Chair.
• Commit to increasing the percentage of trained direct contact leaders in your unit by 10% or achieve the national standard of 60% direct contact leaders. Your District Training Chair knows the percent of trained leaders in your unit.
• Have a registered Pack Trainer. See job description.
• Have your Pack trainer work towards earning the Pack Trainer Award. See Pack Trainer Award information.
• Update your Pack training records with either your unit commissioner or District Training Chair.

Your District Training Chair is here to help you and your pack reach it’s training goal. There is an extensive Council Calendar of training events across the Council, which is available from your District Training Chair or on line at www.Mountbakerbsa.org/training. Can’t get to a scheduled training? Call your District Training Chair to have training in a box delivered to your unit.
