Cubcast - Boy Scouts of America

We’ll be honest: This Cubcast is a little longer than previous ones, but that’s because the 15 minutes are chock full of new and retro activities that we know your dens and packs will love! Volunteer extraordinaire Linda Vaughn, who sits on the Cub Adventure Committee and is tasked with re-writing the den leader guides, joins us for this spirited discussion.

Every picture tells a story, don’t it? And as a parent of one Cub Scout or leader of many, how do you take those fabulous pictures you have of your Cub Scouts doing really fun activities and then use them to recruit new boys into the program? Not only might you be developing a new skill, but you’ll also have lots of fun in the process. Click the download button to hear more about this fascinating new initiative.

September is Emergency Preparedness Month, and Cubcast wants to know – are you prepared for an emergency? We invited Richard Bourlon, team lead of the Health and Safety Service Team for the BSA National Council, to lead us in an informative conversation on making sure you and your Cub Scouts are armed with everything you need.

Hopefully all of your recruiting efforts have paid off and you have lots of new boys in your dens and packs. Having new Scouts also means having lots of new parents, and you need to let them know what’s expected of them…soon. So don’t wait any longer! Join us as we talk with Dr. Geoff Zoeller, a Cubmaster for the local pack and the vice president of membership and relations for the Patriots Path Council in New Jersey. He will share everything we need to know to create a successful new parent orientation.

Is your den or pack stuck in a rut, making the same old arts and crafts year after year?

Imagine yourself in room with a dozen other Cub Scout leaders from all over the country. You’re enjoying a breathtaking view of blue skies, mountains, and plenty of sunshine.
