http://www.traingschedules.ocbsa.org When new leaders join Scouting, it is essential that they receive immediate information that will help them get started and lay the groundwork for success in their leadership roles. This will help new leaders to understand what is expected and to establish effective meeting patterns so that the boys and their families can enjoy a quality program from the start.

Fast Start training is a short video-based training program designed to fulfill this need. It should be viewed within 48 hours of when a new leader accepts the position. While a new leader can view the tape alone, it may be helpful for a knowledgeable Scouter from the Troop to view the tape with him or her to establish personal contact and answer any questions.

The Cub Scout Fast Start Training videotape (AV-022) has five sections:
The New Tiger Cub Organizer (13 minutes)
The New Den Leader (13 minutes)
The New Webelos Den Leader (18 minutes)
The New Cubmaster (17 minutes)
Pack Organization (20 minutes)

Most Packs have a copy of the Fast Start Tape that can be loaned to the new leader, along with a Viewer guide. Contact your Pack Trainer, Cubmaster or Committee Chairman. The tapes are also for sale in the Scout Shop. Unit commissioners can be of assistance in helping to provide Fast Start Training for their new leaders.
This training is also available on-line from the Council Training Website or the National Council Website.
