Greetings!
 Calling all Cub Scout leaders!
Providing leadership for your pack or den can be a scary thing but with the proper knowledge and training, it doesn't have to be. Get trained at Leader Outdoor Experience (LOE), a fun overnight course for all leaders involved in the Cub Scout program.
During this training, learn how to give aid in constructing a well-rounded program for the youth both indoors and outdoors, become familiar with techniques for teaching youth about fire building, hiking, nature, and many more fun activities. Best of all, you'll work with other leaders and share ideas with them.
Spring courses cost just $20 and are scheduled for April 26-27 at Beaumont Scout Reservation and May 3-4 at Pine Ridge Scout Camp. Read more...
