The strength of Pack 63 is in large part due to the dedication and involvement of our scouting parents. We’ve had the great privilege of having nearly 20 trained adults to lead our scouts. To successfully run our annual Pack program, we need the help of more parents and families.
The mission of Pack 63 is to:
Provide a meaningful Cub Scout Program for our Boys;
Appropriately recognize their achievements;
Foster a sense of belonging to the Cub Scout “Family”;
Promote a sense of self-discipline and self-pride;
Instill a sense of patriotism and respect on which our country was founded;
and provide lots of good, clean fun!
We need your help in this. Each family may join scouts for a different reason, but generally they see the benefit of the scouting program. Please consider volunteering to help us achieve this mission.
How can I help?
If you want to help out, talk to us at a pack meeting. We’ll briefly go over what you like to do and what you’re good at. Then we’ll find a way to use your unique talents to help out the pack.
The official process for joining as a leader is simple. You will fill out an application, complete 90 minutes of Youth Protection Training, and attend some or all of our Committee meetings. Any of our current leaders can help you get started. For some roles such as Den Leader or Assistant Cubmaster there are additional training modules specific to that role.
Please consider volunteering today. The success of our Pack is dependent on parents like you.
