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.
Akela's Council Cub Scout Leader Training
What Is Akela's Council? Crossroads of the West Council has planned this exciting 3 1/2 day Cub Scout Leader Training for those who have completed the Leader Basic Training. This fast-paced and inspiring training covers den doodles, den yells, relationships, Cub Scout forms, resources, New Adventure Program, skits, puppets, charter renewal, BSA policies, insignia, Webelos Outdoor Experience, Cub Scouts with disabilities and much more. Any Cub Scout Leader from any council is invited to attend.

Cub Scouts and Field Trips
I taught a class about cub scouts and field trips today at the annual University of Scouting in the Utah National Parks Council. Some class participants asked for the Class Handout in digital format, so here it is.
Locally we are seeing a trend towards family packs that meet at the same time and place for den meetings as well as pack meetings. While this works well to streamline family time requirements, it makes it a little harder to plan a den outing.
Hopefully this handout will be useful in planning field trips that can accommodate requirements for several dens. It should also give a quick overview of all the obvious outings recommended for adventures in all the dens.
Don't forget to get your activity consent forms signed, and bring a copy of each person's health form when you have activities away from your regular den meeting location!
Put the OUT in scouting, and get your pack out to see some fun things.

Cub Scout Monthly Themes 2019 and Beyond and Pack Meeting plans for every month's themes!!
The BSA is not giving us new themes but have said to choose our own. Originally, BSA said we would use the themes on a 3 year rotation, and that is what I have done here. If this helps you to have themes picked ahead of time you are welcome to use it, or you're welcome to print out a blank one below and fill it in yourself. Look for links below for all the themes above and other ideas for themes you could add.
Check back! I will continue to update this page as it will continue to be a work in progress. If you have suggestions on what to add, comment below!
