Cubmaster Corner

The University of Scouting course titled Cubmaster Corner was really almost a round table cubmaster breakout session. Participants shared ideas and solutions, and a couple new cubmasters got oodles of wisdom from some experienced scouters. The course handout is a conversation starter with some success tips and an article from Brian on Scouting.

If you're a new cubmaster, the best advice is to get to Akela's Council for the next course. Get trained, make regular use of your cub scout leader book, and follow some of the tips here.

How to Use Email to Send Text Messages through your email app to AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, or Verizon

A big thank you to Ray Cox from Heber City, who is the Wasatch District Cub Scout Roundtable Commissioner, Utah National Parks Council donated this.



Did you know you can send text messages from your email app?  It is an easy and convenient way to send meeting reminders to the boys' parents.  Messages are delivered individually, not as group texts.  Replies come back to your inbox.  And you can maintain your contact info in one place.  You will need to know the recipients's phone number and wireless carrier (e.g., Verizon or AT&T).  Combine the 10 digit phone number and the carrier's domain, separated by @, to form an email address.  For example, if the recipient's mobile phone number is 801-555-1234 and carrier is Verizon, the "To" address would be 8015551234@vtext.com.

Cub Scout Leader Training Bingo - A Gathering Activity for Roundtable similar to a Blue & Gold preopener, but focused on leader training & leader awards

A big thank you to Ray Cox from Heber City, who is the Wasatch District Cub Scout Roundtable Commissioner, Utah National Parks Council donated this.  He says...

"I created this for a gathering activity for my upcoming roundtable. It is much like the gathering activity for the blue and gold banquet. Only, in this case it is focused around leader training and a little bit on leader awards. The second page is intended to be printed on the back of the first page.  If you think it would be of interest to anybody, you may post it."
