This is a supplemental, action-packed training event for adult Cub Scout Leaders, Pack Committee Members, Charter Organization Representatives, parents of Cub Scouts, and Cub Scout-interested persons.

That would include Cub- masters and their Assistants; Lion Den Guides and adult partners; Tiger Den Leaders, their Assistants, and adult partners; Wolf, Bear, and Webelos Den Leaders and their Assistants; Pack Committee members and activity/event Chairpersons and coordinators; and anyone who wants to learn more about how to have a deliver a better Cub Scout program. Oh! And let’s not forget Charter Organization Representatives, they need to come too.
Training sessions are offered on relevant topics for every Cub Scout position and are designed to help you make your Cub Scout program more fun for the Cub Scouts … and for you too!!!

What’s included in the registration fee? The fee includes a day of training (as many as six courses), an event patch, a USB drive of course resources for all sessions, lunch, and as much Scout fellowship, spirit, and networking as you can take in during the day!!

While we wish we could accommodate all dietary needs, it is just not possible with such a large group. If you have special dietary restrictions, please feel free to bring your own lunch.

What should I bring? That’s easy … bring a notepad, a pen, and a tote or book bag for the handouts and goodies. Also, bring your Cub Scout Spirit and your BIGGEST Cub Scout smile. There will be a Trading Post with all sorts of Cub Scout items to purchase … so extra pocket money will come in handy to make your Trading Post purchase.

All courses have limited enrollment and many fill very quickly.

Martin Luther King Jr. National Day of Service
2025-12-12 08:00 - 17:00 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | IN
January 19, 2026 will be an important moment for Scouts across the country as we create opportunities to participate in the Martin Luther King Jr. National Day of Service.
This day invites every American to step forward and strengthen their communities through meaningful volunteer work, and Scouts will be ready to lead by example.
Across Scouting America, we encourage your unit to plan service projects that reflect the values Dr. King championed. Scouts can take part in community cleanups, support local shelters and food programs, assist service organizations, and look for thoughtful ways to lift up neighbors who need a hand.
Let’s make it a “Day On, Not a Day Off,” and a chance for young people to show what service in action looks like.
Dr. King’s connection to Scouting began in his youth when he was a member of Troop 151 in Atlanta. His time in Scouting helped nurture a spirit of leadership and community responsibility that would later define his work for justice and equality.
As we look ahead to MLK Day 2026, we encourage every unit to plan a project that reflects the heart of Dr. King’s legacy. By serving with purpose, Scouts will honor his message and continue the work of building stronger and more caring communities.
The MLK Day of Service emblem is available online or can be ordered through the LaSalle Council, Scouting America Scout Shop.
