In addition, our breakout sessions will be focused on the following:

• Cub Scouting: New updates to advancement, including AOL/Webelos crossover and Bobcat changes.

As an added bonus, we will be joined by Anthony Berger, who is the National Director of Cub Scouting. He will be speaking during our general session and facilitating our Cub Scout breakout session. Here's a little bit more about Anthony:

His career with the Boy Scouts of America spans over twenty-five years including eight years as a Scout Executive and five years as the National Director of Cub Scouting.    As the National Director of Cub Scouting, his first assignment was to update all program materials and help develop delivery and policies to welcome girls into the program.  Over the past several years Anthony has worked with the National Cub Scouting Committee to update the Cub Scout program to ensure that it is fun, simple, and easy.
