Join Us!!!
For Boys and their Parents
We are pleased that you are considering joining our Cub Scout Pack. It
is our hope that you and your son will find your time with the pack a
rewarding and fun experience in which to continue or begin your
Scouting adventure.
We
have an active Cub Scout program, with Pack meetings every month, Den
meetings and other experiences throughout the year. We encourage
attendance at as many activities as possible. Some activities can help
the boys advance through the Cub Scout ranks or earn belt loops and
badges.
Throughout
the year, each Den takes responsibility for a Pack meeting. This is
your Pack, and taking responsibility to run it will allow both boys and
parents fulling participate in scouting ideals. The Cubmaster often
provides the theme for the meeting, and District Roundtables can supply
plenty of ideas for activities.
We
want parents to be active as well! We have numerous positions
available, ranging from a once-a-year commitment, to Den Leader to Pack
administration. We have a Pack Committee made up of leaders and other
adults, and that is always open to parents that usually meets on the
second Tuesday of the month to discuss and plans events and the fund
raising necessary to help the pack go and to support the plans made by
Den leaders.
We
encourage parents to consider a role in which they can best use their
talents and skills (i.e., Cubmaster, Assistant Cubmaster, Committee
Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Fund raising, Advancement, Activities
Chairs or as an assistant to a position). And not to worry, there are
plenty of training classes to help you along if you feel don't know
what to do. Remember, all of the current adult leaders started out
where you are - so just jump right up and ask the Cubmaster or another
leader how you can help. And parents - don't tell the scouts - but
sometimes we have as much or more fun than the boys do.
