Training Knots

Each adult leader can earn "training knots" that are worn over the left pocket of the uniform. The knots are based on the leader's position within Pack 1020, and completion of the training courses is the first step. Each knot requires specific training, tenure (1 or 2 yrs) and leadership activities. In Pack 1020, the Cubmaster is the person responsible for approving the application card for each knot.

The most common training knots that leaders of Pack 1020 can earn are shown below. There are additional training knots that an adult can earn as a leader of a scout troop or at the District or Council level.
