Scouting is Family Oriented

• Activities are intended for the whole family. Siblings included!

• You work with your son or daughter on his or her various Adventures & Award requirements.

• Many skills your scout will learn are family oriented.

 

Your scout is a member of a Cub Scout Den

• The Den meets once a week.

• The den is led by a Den Leader (parent volunteer).

• The Den Leader is usually assisted by an Assistant Den Leader (parent volunteer).

• Den meetings have academic work, games, crafts, songs and lots of fun. Most of all den meetings are geared toward learning one point of the Scout Law each month.  

​​

Your scout and his or her den are part of a Cub Scout Pack

• The “pack” consists of all the dens and other leaders. The pack meets together once a month.  All Cub Scout families are invited and encouraged to attend.

• The Cubmaster and Asst. Cubmasters lead the monthly pack meeting.

• The pack meeting is the climax of the month’s den meetings and activities.

• Pack meetings include skits, songs, ceremonies and the presentation of awards the scouts earned that month.

​​

The Pack is run by a Pack Committee (Group of Parent Volunteers)

• The committee is made up of a Chartered Organization Representative, Committee Chair, Treasurer, Cubmaster, Outdoor Chair, Advancement Chair and many other positions. All of these leaders are parents of scouts in the pack. All leaders and interested parents are encouraged to attend.

• The committee meets once a month, usually 3rd Monday of the month.

• The committee plans pack activities.

• The committee selects leaders, performs record keeping, manages pack finances, orders awards, maintains pack equipment, helps train leaders, and recognizes leaders.

 

The pack is owned by a Chartering Organization

• Charter organizations can include education centers, parent associations, religious organizations, service clubs, and other groups interested in youth. We are chartered by Faith Lutheran Church.

• The chartered organization approves leaders, provides a meeting place, and operates the pack within the guidelines and policies of the chartered organization and Scouts BSA.

• The chartered organization selects a Chartered Organization Representative who serves as a liaison between the pack and the organization.  The Chartered Organization Rep approves the adult leadership group leading the pack.
