LDS Regional Cub Scout Training

Thanks to Lorri Kearns, (NT Trainer), Dave Schultz (NT District Commissioner), Judy Yeager (NT ) John Naylor (NT Commissioner) and Gigi Coleman for assisting over 50 Cub Scout Leaders in the Kansas City region to become fully trained in their respective positions. This supports the BSA Training Initiative set for the next century. Valuable information was presented from LDS trainers who serve in LDS/BSA positions in scouts.

For more information, I will be posting documents given at the training in the next couple of weeks.
