A course for all Scout leaders to ensure that boys get a quality, fun-filled program. Leaders gain an understanding of the program and their responsibilities in order to have a positive influence on the boys in their Unit. While gaining knowledge, leaders learn necessary skills, available resources for an exciting program and confidence in carrying out their roles as leaders.

Basic Leader Training has two parts:

1. New Leader Essentials is for all new leaders in Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity Scouting, and Venturing. It highlights the values, aims, history, funding, and methods of the Scouting program. Once completed, it need not be taken again, even if the leader moves to a different position or program level.
    
2. Leader Specific Training gives a leader the knowledge and skills needed for a specific position. Leader Specific Training is available for the following positions in Cub Scouting:
   • Tiger Cub leader
   • Cub Scout den leader and assistant
   • Webelos den leader and assistant
   • Cubmaster and assistant
   • Pack committee members
   • Unit Commissioners

Basic Leader Training goes into greater detail on youth development and boy behavior, program planning, activities, and the purposes of the program. It is usually presented in one or two group sessions, but can be delivered to small groups or even individuals through personal coaching.

Every Cub Scout leader should complete Basic Leader Training; it prepares leaders to deliver a quality, fun-filled program. Leaders who understand the whys and hows of the program are more effective in their roles. They know how to use available resources to provide an exciting and worthwhile program for boys. Trained leaders have confidence in carrying out their responsibilities and, along with the boys, have more fun.
