Required Adult Training
(Required of all Pack 1238 adult members)
Go to myscouting.org

Youth Protection Training (YPT) - After this is completed, be sure to print the Youth Protection Training Certificate and submit to the Pack Trainer. Adults are highly encouraged to save their certificates as PDF files for future reference.

How adults can help
Volunteer to help with small defined tasks.
Ask your Den Leader if they need help.
Ask the Cubmaster or Committee Chair about the needs of the Pack.
Remain positive and look for ways to improve the program - turn problems into solutions. We are not perfect and we will never will be perfect. So don't expect perfect, expect honest effort.
Follow the advice we give the boys... Do your best. If that includes getting trained then you need to get trained.
Encourage other parents to help. Work as a team with projects that need attention.
Considering a Leadership Role?
Talk to a current leader about your willingness to help. Discuss which role would best fit your talents and comfort level.
Decide whether you are able and willing to take a leadership role...and if you do, thank you!
