Venturing Fast Start
Cub Scout Leader Fast Start (No. AV-01V022) is a package of position-specific video programs accompanied by a Cub Scout Leader Fast Start Viewer Guide (No. AV-01G022). Each program gives leaders information on planning and conducting their first meeting, and even demonstrates one they can use. Five segments are included in the video:

"Tiger Cub Den Leader"
"Cub Scout Den Leader"
Wolf/Bear Cub Scout Den Leaders
"Webelos Den Leader"
"Cubmaster"
"Pack Committee"

The Boy Scout Fast Start video, revised in 1990, includes the following segments:

"The Troop Meeting" This is the primer on how to run a troop meeting. Produced for new unit leaders and commissioners, the video covers planning, parts of the meeting, the patrol method, and resources.

"The Outdoor Program" Running a troop meeting is one thing; running a successful outdoor activity is another. This program goes into planning, organization, ideals, and BSA policy for outdoor activities. It also touches on long-term and high-adventure activities.

"The Troop Organization" This program starts with the charter concept—the chartered organization, the district, and the council, and their relationship to the troop. Each leadership and committee position is described. This is an excellent program for commissioners, troop committees, troop leaders, and chartered organizations.

 The Venturing Fast Start guide illustrates how using the program planning process can get Venturing programs off to a successful start. It provides information about training youth officers and is designed to be produced locally to orient new crew Advisors. Also available is the New Crew Fast Start video, No. AV-03V013, which was produced to support the booklet.

This training is not intended as an overnight experience, but rather a preparation of the Cub Scout leader interested in learning about overnight camping activities.Successful completion of this training will result in an increased level of confidence and willingness to plan an age-appropriate Pack overnighter. This training is not intended as an overnight experience, but rather a preparation of the Cub Scout leader interested in learning about overnight camping activitie

The new Basic Leader Training comprises two parts:
  • New Leader Essentials for all unit-level leaders and

  • Leader Specific training, which is based on the leader's unit-level position.

    Leader Specific
    Once a volunteer has a solid overview of the BSA's values-based program, he or she can begin training for a specific Scouting position through Leader Specific training. This training provides the specialized knowledge a new leader needs to assume a leadership role. Because each course is designed for a specific leadership position, the training time varies. Leader Specific training has been developed for the following positions and their assistants:
