Practical Supplemental Training for Unit Adults
Cub Scout Leader Pow Wow is a supplemental training course for leaders. Because family schedules are much more crowded these days, Pow
Wow is being offered as a half day program offered just once per year—in
the fall. Leaders are encouraged to attend every year to hone their skills in needed areas
which cannot be covered in Cub Leader Basic Training Courses. Attending Pow Wow will
fulfil the requirement to attend a Pow Wow or University of Scouting for training awards.
Packs are encouraged to bring all interested leaders and parents to Pow Wow. It is impossible for one leader to cover all desired sessions. We recommend that your group cover as
many sessions as possible then get together to share what you’ve learned. To encourage
this we are offering packs who bring five or more leaders each 5th registration free. This
promotion is only available to those packs who pre-register. Walk-in registrations are not
eligible.
We ask that you register early so that our trainers can adequately prepare for their sessions. To encourage this we have a couple of friendly competitions. Our “Early Bird”
Award recognizes the first person to register for the course. Jeff Schopp from Fox River
District was recognized last November. We also recognize the district with the highest attendance—participants only (not staff) —pre-registered. Iron Horse District was our last
district. Who will win it this time??? Our goal is to have all districts represented.
The session list appears below. At this time we are able to offer only one class session for
each subject. We recommend you bring a group from your pack to cover as many sessions
as possible. Questions? Please contact Karen Recklies at (414) 527-9933 or
krecklies@wi.rr.com.
