Welcome to the Pack 86 Website. We took the dive into the Information Superhighway and we'll Post everything we can that will help you have a rewarding experience this Scouting year. Like all start ups this is pretty bare bones right now but we encourage input from the Cub Scouts and their families. I encourage you to talk with the Pack Leadership about ways we can improve this site, It is now and will probably always be a "work in progress"

If you have trouble opening any of the attached documents notify either your Den Leader or the Cub Master with the format you can view and we'll try to make it happen.

Outdoor Leader Skills for Webelos Leaders is being held at Camp Silver creek, in Silver Hill Alabama on the Oct 13th 2012. Check in from 8am to 8:30am at the camp. Course lasts from 8:30am to 8:30pm that day. If you notify the camp ahead of time you can camp out Friday and/or Saturday nights. This is required training for all Webelos Den Leaders and Assistant Den Leaders, Other Adult Leaders may attend. Registration forms can be printed off the WWW.BSAMAC.org website, you can find it under the Leader Training heading.

Youth Protection Training - Important new rules regarding Youth Protection Training. As of 1 June 2010 all Adult Leaders are required to take youth protection training. That includes all Adult leaders regardless of the position you hold in the Pack.

You can use the link above, just copy and paste it into your web browser. Click on the Youth Protection link and even if you do not have a Scouting number yet you can create an account and take the Youth Protection training online and print out the certificate. Please let Mr. Adams, the Pack Training Coordinator know when you have done so.

New Adult Leaders are required to attach a copy of their certificate of training completion to their Adult Leader Application before we can submit it to the Scout Office. Once you are assigned a scout number it is imperative that you log back onto your online training account and add your scout number to your profile.
