"Every Boy Deserves a Trained Leader"

- - Baden-Powell

One of the keys to a successful Scouting experience for young boys is trained volunteer Leadership.  Pack 225, in conjunction with the Central Florida Council and its various training committees, is committed to providing top quality training opportunities for all of our Leaders, parents and Scouts.  We are dedicated to helping you increase your knowledge and skills so you are better able to deliver a quality Scouting program to our entire youth membership.

Pack 225's Pack Trainer for 2010-2011 is John Zaleski (training at pack225.org (remember to replace the word "at" with the @ symbol)).

Youth Protection Training is required for each and every adult volunteer who comes in contact with our Youth.  All Cub Scout adult volunteers should take this free course as soon as possible.  Email copies of your completion certificate to training at pack225.org (replace "at" with "@").         Log in to MyScouting to take this course online

Cub Scout Leader Fast Start Training is the first step toward training for any volunteer new to Cub Scouting.  There are courses for Tiger Den Leaders, Wolf/Bear Den Leaders, Webelos Den Leaders, Cubmasters, and Committee Members.  These courses should be taken before you begin any youth activities.  This program typically takes less than one hour to complete.  Leaders entering new roles should take the appropriate Fast Start Training for their new positions.                         Log in to MyScouting to take this course online

This Is Scouting is for all new leaders in Cub Scouting. It is an online interactive learning experience that is divided into six modules. It picks up where Fast Start left off and introduces participants to the following areas of the Scouting program: Mission, Vision, and Values; Programs for All Ages and Abilities; Scouting Is Fun!; Scouting in the Community; Protecting Our Youth; and Scouting’s Legacy.      Log in to MyScouting to take this course online
