CF-1 - Cub Scout Den Leader Fast Start (on-line)
Fast Start – Wolf/Bear Den Leader takes only taking 20 minutes to complete.  This online course is not very comprehensive.  Good for a brand new leader, it gives a quick understanding of what a den meeting is all about, but not all the detail you really need to be successful in Scouting.

In addition to the Fast Start, the Wolf or Bear Den Leader should take supplemental training from his or her Pack Trainer and take Cub Scout Leaders’ Specific.  It is also suggested that leaders attend district Cub Scout Roundtables.  These are held on the first Thursday’s of the month in Southeast Wisconsin Council.

To be a “Trained” leader, you also need to take the in-person course C-42 “Cub Scout Den Leaders’ Specific.”  This course includes a module for your position in Cub Scouting.  The “Cub Scout Leaders’ Specific” course is offered several times a year in our council.

CF-2 - Webelos Den Leader Fast Start (on-line)
Fast Start – Webelos Den Leader takes only taking 20 minutes to complete.  This online course is not very comprehensive.  Good for a brand new leader, it gives a quick understanding of what a den meeting is all about, but not all the detail one really needs to be successful in Scouting.

The Webelos Den Leader should take some supplemental training from their Pack Trainer, and take the Cub Scout Leaders’ Specific course.  It is also suggested that leaders attend district Cub Scout Roundtables. These are held on the first Thursday’s of the month in Southeast Wisconsin Council.

CF-3 - Cubmaster Fast Start (on-line)
Fast Start – Cubmaster takes only taking 20 minutes to complete, although this online course is not very comprehensive.  However, it gives a parent volunteer new to Cub Scouting, this gives you a very nice overview of what a Pack Meeting is all about.  Therefore, we recommend that all Cub Scouters take this module as part of their Fast Start sequence.

The Cubmaster should take some supplemental training from their Pack Trainer, or take a district or council course, in addition to the Fast Start.  It is also suggested that leaders attend district Cub Scout Roundtables.

CF-4 - Pack Committee Fast Start (on-line)
Pack Committee Fast Start takes 10 minutes online, this is a very good overview of the role of the Pack Committee in running the Pack. We recommend that all Cub Scouters take this module as part of their Fast Start sequence, to help them better understand Cub Scouting.

Topics covered include the basics of Scouting (Scouting is a game with a purpose, and the purpose is to prepare boys to become better adults), monthly pack committee meetings and the annual Pack Planning Conference, roles of Pack Committee Members and other adults in the Pack, and recommended resources (Scouting magazine, Cub Scout Leader Book, Program Helps, Roundtable and the Unit Commissioner).

Note: this Fast Start course references the “New Leader Essentials” training.  That course has been replaced with the online “This is Scouting” course.

CF-6 - Tiger Den Leader Fast Start (on-line)
Fast Start – Tiger Den Leader takes only taking 20 minutes to complete.  Honestly, I found the print small and difficult to read, and the two links (Cub Scout Program Helps and Printable Den Meeting Fact Sheet) didn’t take me to where I wanted to go.  This Fast Start is more of a “PowerPoint-like” presentation, without audio.

However, it does give a Tiger Den leader some valuable information, including an overview of the Tiger program, duties of a Tiger Den Leader, involving parent-partners, and the elements of a successful den meeting.  I’d recommend that the Tiger Den Leader take some supplemental training from their Pack Trainer, or take a district or council course, in addition to the Fast Start.  It is also suggested that leaders attend district Cub Scout Roundtables. These are held on the first Thursday’s of the month in Southeast Wisconsin Council.

To be a “Trained” leader, you also need to take the in-person course C-41 “Tiger Den Leaders’ Specific.”  This course includes a module for your position in Cub Scouting.  The “Cub Scout Leaders’ Specific” course is offered several times a year in our council.
