Equipment ready to go
Drivers to and from camp

Cub Scout Leaders: Get going on your summer program. The pack should participate or conduct at least one activity during June, July and August.
Also: Journey to Excellence mid-year checkup - Go over this year's checklist and see how you are doing. Compare with last year's mid-year assessment. Check in with your unit commissioner and go over the results.

Stay on top of Youth Protection Training. Currently, the training must be taken every two years, and if a member's training has expired, they are no longer considered registered.

It's simple: Just go to my.scouting.org and sign in to take YPT.
