What happened? They asked you to be the Cub Scout leader, that’s what. You thought it over, and you told them you didn’t know much about it but you’d give it a try. The congratulations and rejoicing are still ringing in your ears

But now what?  We can almost hear your questions: What’s my job? How will I learn it? Who is going to help me? What do I do first?

Fair questions, and the purpose of the Cub Scout Leader Position Specific Training is to try to answer them – plus many more you haven’t even thought of asking yet, such as “What's Scouting all about, really?”

Instructor-led Cub leader training is being offered on Saturday, April 18, 2026, 9 AM to 2:30 PM at St. Michael’s Lutheran Church, 500 E 31st St, La Grange Park, IL.

There is no fee for the course, coffee and snacks will be available using a “kitty’ to pay for them.  Bring a “brown bag” lunch.  Course specified handouts will be provided and a USB drive with extra Scouting America materials may be downloaded for free to your laptop or purchased at our $3 cost for the USB drive.
