Leader Training
Becoming a Trained Leader
Parents are the lifeblood of any Cub Scout Pack. We depend on our parents to step up and help on numerous levels. Without their help, our program would be limited and our Scouts would be missing out on the fun.
It is very easy to become a Trained Leader in Boy Scouts. ALL the required training can be taken online - so you can take the courses at your own pace.
Steps Toward Leadership
Talk to the Cubmaster or Committee Chair about your interest. Discuss which role(s) you might focus your effort.
The more parents the better the program and the more rewarding it is for everyone.
Pack Committee Positions
Is one right for your?
All leader positions and pack committee positions are volunteer positions. The volunteers are parents just like you. With out parents / volunteers like you, the pack would not exist. Every years leaders and pack committee volunteers come and go. It is an ever changing cycle. We are always looking for parents who are more than willing to give a little extra. Click the links below to see what each position encompasses. If interested in any open positions please contact Committee Chair Pete Christy

Always Needed - Leaders with Safe Swim Defense & Weather Hazards
Leaders we live in South Florida, as many of you know weather can change in a moments notice. We need more leaders to step up and get trained in these two areas. Both to support our swimming program in the summer and to be alert and informed when we attend outdoor events.
Needed - Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) Training
Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation is a one-day training event that introduces parents and leaders to the skills needed to plan and conduct pack outdoor activities, particularly pack camping.
A day of fun and learning prepares pack leaders to plan and carry out "entry-level" outdoor experiences. Ask a boy why he wants to be a Cub Scout, and nine times out of 10 he'll answer "to go camping." Cub Scouting has designed Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) training, so boys, along with their parents or some other adult, can participate in a successful overnight camping experience.
A pack camp-out, at a location approved by the local council, is a great way for families to have fun and build confidence in outdoor skills. This kind of camping isn't the rugged high adventure outing geared toward older Boy Scouts. It's what you might call "soft camping," where families can simply drive up to a campsite and pitch a tent within a few feet of their vehicle's rear bumper. The emphasis is on family fun activities that don't require lots of advanced outdoor skills.
How do you get started? A member of your pack committee needs to attend BALOO training. The six-hour BALOO session will give your pack's outdoor activity leader the tools to conduct a safe and successful overnight.
The morning BALOO sessions include the why and how of Cub Scout camping—planning, equipment, meal preparation, and campfire programs. In the afternoon, Cub Scouters rotate among four round-robin sessions—fire safety, stoves, and lanterns; first aid and sanitation; nature hikes and games; and cooking. Scattered throughout the day are plenty of the four S's: songs, stunts, stories, and showmanship
