​Training is an important part of learning to become an effective leader. Trained leaders impact the quality of programs, leader tenure, youth tenure, and a whole lot more. A trained leader is better prepared to make the Scouting program all it can be! Every Scout deserves a trained leader. See the council training schedule for a list of additional trainings offered around the council.

The training includes 3 courses:  Den Leader Position-Specific Training (C42) provides Cub Scout den leaders with the basic information they need to conduct successful den meetings. Cubmaster and Assistant Cubmaster Position-Specific Training (C40) is intended to provide Cubmasters and assistant Cubmasters with the basic information they need to conduct successful pack meetings.  Pack Committee Challenge and Pack Committee Position-Specific Training (C60) is intended to familiarize pack committee members with the various responsibilities of the individual members of the committee as well as the committee as a whole. The goal is to help each pack committee work as a team to improve the Scouting experience for adult and youth members. 

The trainings are being held at the Troop 1323 Scout Hut (behind Plymouth United Church) 5927 Louetta Spring, TX 77379. For more information about training, contact Kevin Renfro.
