American
Red Cross CPR Training A really
valuable resource not only for Cub Scout Leaders but for everyone. If you
DON'T know CPR, you should.
THINGS OF INTEREST TO PACK & DEN LEADERS
Cub
Scout Leader Fast Start Training
This is the on-line version of a standard introductory class for new Cub
Scout Leaders. Pretty convenient, and since it's on the official BSA
National website, we can presume it to be legit. :-)
Policy
Guidelines
Since the Council
office isn't open 24 hours to answer your questions about what's
permissible, check out this presentation that includes a link to the
"Guide to Safe Scouting" (a BSA publication EVERY Pack should
own.)
Cub
Scout Ceremonies Gary Hendra (The
MacScouter) has a great listing of advancement, recognition, bridging, and
campfire ceremonies for Cubs. Move arount this site... he's got a LOT of
stuff here.
Still
more Cub ceremonies Suffolk
County Council in Pennsylvania has the ceremonies section of their PowWow
book on line here. Good selection. Also lots of Pinewood Derby stuff
Professor
Beaver Pages Michael Bowman (AKA:
Professor Beaver & The Net Commish) IS the MAN about Scouting stuff. He
has several sites with outstanding information for Cub Scout leaders.
Sponsored by the USScouting Service Project, some of his offerings include:
Pack
Meetings Tips on how
to conduct a successful Pack Meeting.
Pinewood Derby Stuff
Pinewood
Mania How they do it at Pack 215

The
Ultimate Pinewood Derby Site Randy
Worcester, a Cubmaster in Madison, Mississippi has put together a page
dedicated to "Tool Impaired Cub Scout Leaders".
Pinewood

THAT is...) has a page with a whole bunch of stuff on this big Cub event..
Songs, Skits, & Crafts
Songs
From Jim Speirs in Canada comes this copious collection of every song ever
sung by any Scout anywhere. There's over 2,000 of 'em! (Well maybe he missed
one or two.) Canada eh?
Skits,
skits, and more skits Also from
Jim Speirs comes this remarkable compilation of every stupid skit you ever
saw (& most you wish you hadn't.)
General
Crafts A good place to go for
cheap, simple devices and stuff constructed from simple materials.
