Pack Leaders: Unit Leadership Enhancements

Unit Leadership Enhancements are short training topics intended to help better equip pack leaders to conduct a quality Cub Scout Program. These brief training sessions are to be conducted during the monthly pack leaders’ planning meetings, they are designed to foster discussion among leaders and familiarize them with the BSA resources and guidelines. 

They are located near the end of the "Cub Scout Leader Book." There are fifteen topics, use them in whatever order works best for your Pack.  Make sure you read the "Preparation" portion beforehand so you can better lead the discussion. It would be a good idea to make sure everyone in your Pack has a copy of the Cub Scout Leader Book, if that's not possible make sure they have a copy of whatever pages they need for the topic you are highlighting that month. Conduct the short discussion and exercise during each pack leaders' monthly meeting as a regular new business item.

Run-ons: "Time" for February

Run-ons (Based on the alternate "Turn Back the Clock" theme for February)

Cub 1: What time is it?

Cub 2: Three o'clock.

Cub 1: Oh no!

Cub 2: What's the matter?

Cub 1: I've been asking the time all day. And everybody gives me a different answer!

Cub 1:  How come you didn't wait to see the second act of  the play?

Cub 2:  Didn't have time. The program said it took place a year later.

Q. If twenty dogs run after one cat, what time is it?

A. Twenty after one.

A man with one watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure.

Cheers: for February

Cheers (think Blue and Gold!)

Welcome!

Welcome to the Blog for the Superstition District Cub Scout Roundtable! We will be using this to post resources, links and information for all the Cub Scout Leaders in our District (and perhaps beyond.) We hope it will make it easy and convenient for everyone to get the information they need. Please let us know if you need anything!

Sincerely,
Your Cub Scout Roundtable Staff

For the Staff: When posting, please use the labels below to tag your post with your name as well as what it is you are posting. Here are some examples of labels: Council Camp, Pow Wow, Committee Chair, Cub Master, Webelos, Den Leader, Registration, Popcorn, Fundraisers, Skits, Cheers, Run-ons, Games, Tie Slides, Ceremonies, each of the Values and the months, etc. We want to have enough that are easy for people to get exactly what they need but not so many that it defeats the purpose of using tags. Also, if you got the information from somewhere else, please source it! And make sure that what you post is specific to Cub Scouts and their Leaders! Thank you! :)
