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 55, 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 55, the Pack Committee Chair (currently Claude Cody) is the person responsible for approving the application card for each knot.
The Golden Arrow District's website has a description of these training knots, including procedures for obtaining the knots and guidelines for placing the knots on the uniform. The GAD website also has links to other websites that list the requirements for each training knot. Click here to go to knot section of the GAD website.
The most common training knots that leaders of Pack 55 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.
