Responsibilities:
The
pack trainer is responsible for
- Conducting orientation of new families and pack leaders. (See Chapter 10 of the Cub Scout Leader Book, "Den and Pack Management.")
- Training each new leader and pack committee member for his or her specific position, using material provided by the BSA.
- Helping with Unit Leadership Enhancements during pack leaders' meetings.
- Conducting other training as designated by the district and/or council.
- Encouraging pack leaders to attend ongoing training, such as roundtable, pow wow or University of Scouting, outdoor training,
Youth Protection training, and Wood Badge.
- Remaining current with training material and program updates.
- Keeping track of pack training records.
The goal of the pack trainer is to have 100 percent of the pack leadership
trained in their position responsibilities. New leaders and adult family members should receive orientation within one week
of joining the pack, and leaders should receive position-specific training within 30 days.
