All swap forms are past due. If you have any you have not turned in yet, please do so ASAP!

Den Chiefs
| 
Does your Pack have a Den Chief?
At least 1 for each den?
Does your Troop send Den Chiefs to help Packs?
Boy Scouts need leadership skills and Cub Scouts need youth leaders. We have 19 Packs in Conestoga and not even half have Den Chiefs, let's fix that!

Training
| 
Are all of the leaders in your unit fully trained?
Leaders not fully trained will be dropped. If the leaders position is needed to recharter, your unit's entire charter will be held up and the unit will not be allowed to meet until the charter has been processed.
ALL Youth Protection must be valid through May 1, 2015.
- All assistant Scoutmasters and assistant Venturing advisers must complete basic training. Assistant Scoutmasters and assistant Venturing crew advisers age 21 and older can register as a member of the troop or crew committee if they do not complete their classroom-style leader training.
- All Cub Scout leader training and committee training for both troops and packs is available online at myscouting.org.
- Venturing committee training is expected to be available from BSA National in spring of 2014 and will be mandatory for crew committee members at that time.
