#1: The following website has a great overview of the Cub Scout program (the whole concept). Please take a few minutes to review the information in this website. It may help you understand the levels of Cub Scouting. It is great information for everyone� not just leaders! After reviewing Cub Scout Leader Fast Start, please let us know you have done it.

#2: The following website has an awesome course that will help you now and in your coming years with Cub Scouting (and hopefully, Boy Scouting). We would like for each of you to take the time to complete Online Youth Protection Training ASAP as it is mandatory for all adults in our pack.

Each of you may be asked to help in many ways (helping during den meetings or outings, etc.). Everyone needs to understand the concepts in this course for their own safety and for that of the boys. It�s well worth the time. Please print an extra copy of the certificate for our records.

(Note: choose �Last Frontier Council� as the council and enter your information on the registration page� enter Den #, Pack 391, Yukon� on the organization line. If you are a member of BSA, enter the requested information. If you are not a member� joining as an adult doesn�t mean you have to be a leader� ask us for an adult registration form but go ahead and leave that section blank.)
