I have been the District Cub Training chair for the past year or so. I have been on training committee for the past 2.5 years. The new leader essentials and cub specific is basically the same material as the old Cub Basic leader Training of last year. Just repackaged a bit.
The difference is this, 90 minutes of every cub leader together and then 3 hour breakouts with cub specific training. My instructors had to add a lot of examples to the class. Nothing wrong with that as long as they understand the BSA policy and how to run a den or pack or pack committee, etc.
hope that helps
