      <description>This month, we ask the questions: What is bridging? What does it mean? Is there a difference between cross-over and bridging? Well, we found volunteer extraordinaire Bill Campbell, who runs Pack 143 out of the Central Florida Council. It’s a large Cub Scout pack that is known for offering a high-quality Scouting program.

      <description>So, many of you have probably, hopefully, heard about Scoutbook – the online tool designed to make your Scouting Leadership duties a lot easier.

      <description>Playwright George Bernard Shaw said, “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” Communication is so important to the success of a Pack, so joining us this month is Sherry Miller, who has held every den leader position and several different committee positions with Pack 84 out of First […]</description>

      <description>An organizing principle is a core assumption from which everything else around it can derive a classification or a value so this month we’re going to figure out the structure of a den…you know – how to get it organized.

      <description>Hopefully your recruiting efforts are bringing lots of new boys and girls into your dens and packs. But welcoming new members also means welcoming new parents, and you need to let those new to the program know what’s expected of both the Cub Scout and the parent.

      <description>Sometimes a new family might come in with a little bit of anxiety—maybe they’re not exactly sure what they’ve gotten themselves into—and it’s important that we make them comfortable.

      <description>Special needs can mean anything from a learning disability like dyslexia to hearing loss to a physical disability like cerebral palsy.

      <description>A good size for a den is about six to eight youth members. But what if you’ve only been able to recruit two or three youth members? Does that qualify as a den? If so, how does that affect the pack? Cubmaster extraordinaire Matt Janchar, whom you may remember from the Cubmaster 101 episode, shares […]</description>
