LDS Den Leader Quick Start Manual
(Great for new Den Leaders Everywhere)
I usually do not give a full page to one document but this one is different. Below is the authors e-mail explaining what the manual is all about. I have provided a link so you can download it at the end of his e-mail.
DOWNLOAD links for the manual can be found at that bottom of this page.
A while back I sent you email about a manual that I created for my Den
Leaders called "LDS Den Leader Quick Start Manual". I have received a
lot of wonderful email in response to the manual and wanted to offer it one
more time to you to look at for your Cub Scout organization/Leader
Training.
I know that you are probably thinking that you have material enough for
the
Cub Scout Den Leaders and that you will make do with that - this manual
is
different. It gives the Den Leader very pertinent information that
they
need to know IMMEDIATELY without having to sift through all the
different
"standard" manuals and guides to get the information.
It can be easily edited for any Cub Scout organization/group. It is
done,
I believe, very professionally. And many have told me that it is
organized
very well with only the most pertinent information that is needed by
the
Cub Scout Den leaders.
I have attached the first few pages of the document for you to look
at. These pages include the "Table of Contents" page so you can see
what
it covers. The attached "Intro" document is in PDF format but the
document
I would send, if you request it, would be a Microsoft Word document
that
you could edit and change as you like.
I have worked hard on this and think that many could benefit if it
could
just get to the people who could use it. That is why I am sending it
to
you because I believe that you could use it or that you would know
someone
in your organization that might be able to use it. It is absolutely
free! So, take a look at the short introduction document that I have
attached and if you think you would like a copy of the entire document
please let me know.
"You will have to edit a few things to make it generic to any Pack (i.e. Scout store location and hours, etc.)
Before I give it to my Den Leaders I put the document together as follows:
The manual is plastic comb bound with blue card stock for the cover and back. I have printed the 2003 calendar on the inside of the front cover and the 2004 on the inside of the back cover. In addition to the items already in the appendix I add the "BSA Local Tour Permit Form" and example Cub Advancement worksheets. I also add a plastic baseball card holder sheet to the end of the document for the Den Leaders to put their training certificate cards. This helps them to keep from losing them (important since proof of "Youth Protection" training is now needed before a Tour Permit is granted.)
Also, I tried to put the colored graphics together on their own pages so that they could be printed separately on a color printer. This makes the reproduction of the manual less expensive. I Hope you are able to use it."
Yours in Scouting,
