Dear Pack 1776 families,
Beginning in the fall of 2010, Boy Scouts of America is introducing a new way of delivering the Cub Scout program. This new delivery method, called "Cub Scouts 2010" covers:
Cub Scout Roundtable
Cub Scout Pack and Den Meetings
Cub Scout - Webelos program
The new resources guides are available at the Scout Shop:
Den and Pack Meeting Resource Guide
Cub Scout Roundtable Planning Guide
"Cub Scouts 2010" are predefined recipes for how to conduct Tiger, Wolf, Bear, and Webelos den meetings. These predefined programs are designed to make running den and pack meetings easier because all advancement requirements are already factored into your agenda. All you have to do is assign names and execute the plan!!!
"Cub Scouts 2010" also has new delivery examples and method for Cub Scout Roundtable. These new methods incorporate all the 12 core values in an easy to follow format for each round table month.
Meridian district will be holding an introduction training on how to use the new Cub Scouts 2010 program. This training is optional but highly encouraged for anyone interested. Find more details in this registration flyer, and contact district training chair Ray Chan at 925-548-6179 if you have any questions about the training.

Important Changes to BSA’s Youth Protection Training Policies
BSA has recently announced changes to its Youth Protection Training policies. The purpose is to increase awareness of this societal problem and to create even greater barriers to abuse than already exist today in Scouting.
Effective June 1, 2010
- Youth Protection training is required for all BSA registered volunteers, regardless of their position.
- New leaders are required to take Youth Protection training before submitting an application for registration. The certificate of completion for this training must be submitted at the time the application is made and before volunteer service with youth begins.
- Youth Protection training must be taken every two years. If a volunteer’s Youth Protection training record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be reregistered.
Scout parents are not registered volunteers and thus not required to take the training. It is strongly recommended, however, that all adults involved in Scouting take Youth Protection training.
This training can be taken online at MyScouting.org. More information can be found at BSA and US Scouting Service Project.
