The Pack is a family organization and is run by parents who volunteer as Den Leaders, Assistant Den Leaders, and Committee members or as special event planners. In order to be successful in achieving the stated goals of Scouting, the parent involvement is required.
Please be prepared to volunteer for Pack and Den activities. All of the boys, especially your son, benefit from your participation in the Pack and in the Scouting community. "Two-deep Leadership" is required for all Cub Scout events. This means that two adults must be present for all Den or Pack events.
The Pack is made up of several Dens. The Pack includes not only the boys in those Dens, but also their families and their Leaders. The Pack holds meetings once a month, which is attended by Cub Scouts, Leaders, parents and other family members. The Pack meeting is the culmination of that month's Den meetings and activities. It gives the Dens something to look forward to and work toward. This is a chance to recognize the boys, their parents and their Leaders.
In addition to its regular meetings, the Pack sponsors special projects and events about once per month. These include community service projects (ex. Scouting for Food), outdoor activities (Day Camp, rocket launch, summer picnic, summer swim outing, family campout), fundraising activities sales (Friends of Scouting), and other fun activities (Blue & Gold Banquet, Pinewood Derby).
