Pack 175 Adult Training Policy

ADULT TRAINING AND TRAINING REIMBURSEMENT POLICY

Cub Scout Pack 175 wants to encourage the continued education and training of its volunteer adult leaders. To demonstrate its commitment to this continued education, Pack 175 has adopted a goal to have 100% of its volunteer leaders complete a minimum curriculum of leadership training. This minimum level of training includes BSA Youth Protection Training, BSA Fast Start Training appropriate for the current leadership position, Cub Scout Leader Fundamentals, Red Cross CPR, and Red Cross Basic First Aid. To further support its training goals, Pack 175 will reimburse, subject to budgetary constraints, the direct out-of-pocket costs of successfully completing approved training programs for its volunteer adult leaders in the following areas:

Red Cross CPR
Red Cross Basic First Aid
BSA Youth Protection Training
Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO)
BSA Fast Start Training appropriate to the current leadership position
BSA Fast Start Training for leadership positions with a commitment from the adult leader to assume the volunteer position for which training is reimbursed by the Pack.
Cub Scout Leader Fundamentals
Webelos Outdoor Training
Scouting University
Cub Scout Pow-wows
Safe Swim Defense
Safety Afloat
Other training with the prior approval of the Pack Committee

Pack 175 will also consider reimbursement of advanced leader training on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the Pack Committee for those volunteer adult leaders that have demonstrated a long-term commitment to Cub Scouting and Pack 175. This training can include, but is not limited to the following training programs:

BSA National Camp School
BSA Lifeguard Training
Wood Badge Leadership Training
Red Cross or BSA Advanced First Aid
Red Cross Delayed Response First Aid Training

The Assistant Cubmaster shall coordinate a training program for the volunteer adult leaders. This coordination shall include remaining aware of training opportunities within the Jayhawk Area Council and the Shawnee District. Where appropriate, the Assistant Cubmaster will arrange for necessary training to be presented by qualified individuals to volunteer adult leaders of Cub Scout Pack 175.
