If I missed anyone on the distribution list please forward this to them and let me know so I can include them on future notifications.
The training requirements matrix is available for your viewing pleasure 24/7 on google docs if you want to know what trainings are required for each position - send me an email with your google email address and I will add you to the permissions list and send you a link. It may be a little lacking on cub scout training requirements but covers most of the boy scout requirements.
If you have any questions about what trainings you have already completed you can send me an email or check yourself on myscouting.org (go to the website, log in, click the "my scouting" tab on the far right, then on the left under "training" click on "training validation"). If you have paper or electronic copies of training certificates that do not appear on the myscouting training validation page then please scan and email them to me or bring me a copy for our troop records.
