It's training time--Now that you have stepped forward and become a leader, get really trained on how to do "the stuff".  From a den meeting to pack functions to out in the woods, you can never get enough training. 

If you are new, changing levels or leader positions, never really got trained before, or just want a refresher, come out and join me and your fellow leaders for an enjoyable time of learning and fellowship.  I look forward to seeing each of you there!! The Menawa District has set the Cub Leader trainings sessions.

All the trainings will begin at 9:00 a.m. and conclude before noon.

If you can not attend, please let us know so we can arrange a date for another training session. Every Scout deserves a Trained Leader.
