HOW CAN I HELP?

Scouting operates through volunteer leadership. Naturally, parents are the source of leaders in the Scouting  Program. We view our pack as a large Scouting family and it takes all hands on deck to create the best Scouting program for our children. No previous Scouting experience is required! 

Training for Volunteers  

Training is a vital role of learning how to become an effective leader. The main purpose of training is to provide  you with the tools you need to put on a quality program for our scouts. Scouting offers most of its training online.  

Youth Protection Training  

The BSA places the greatest importance on creating the most secure environment possible for our scouts. This  training is required for adult leaders, but our pack strongly suggests all parents take the training to understand  the Youth Protection rules and their importance. This training covers the BSA’s YP policies, kinds of abuse, how to respond to disclosures of abuse, and proper reporting procedures. This training is good for two years and is  done completely online.  

Leadership Roles  

The BSA takes great pride in the quality of our adult leadership. Being a BSA Leader is a privilege, not a right. The BSA’s rigorous volunteer application and screening process includes local selection and screening as well  as a national criminal background check. The BSA also provides detailed manuals to assist leaders with their  roles, and there is a wealth of information that can be found online! 

• Cubmaster - Helps plan and carry out pack programs with the assistance from the pack committee. Emcees the monthly pack meeting and helps plan activities.  

• Committee Members - Perform administrative functions and planning the activities for the year.

• Den Leader - Leads the den at monthly den and pack meetings.  

• Assistant Den Leader - Everyone needs an assistant from time to time.

Volunteer Opportunities  

Throughout the year many different opportunities will be available for you to help our pack be at its very best. This can range from helping organize service projects or events, planning food  and activities for parties, or assisting leaders with den specific  needs.
