Cub Scout Pack 61

Adult volunteers make up the leadership organization of each den and the pack. Adult volunteers also plan and carry out the pack activities.

We have a strong tradition of parent volunteerism to assist in running the pack, with each parent expected to sign up for at least one activity during the scouting year. With everyone pitching in, no one task is too difficult, even for the busiest working parent!

Pack 61 pays the registration fees for its adult leaders and reimburses for training tuition.

Den Leaders

The Den Leaders are the ones who organize the majority of the work, and who have the most fun. All adult leaders should attend Youth Protection and Cub Scout Leader Basic Training, a one-day training course organized by the council. Den Leaders plan and organize den meetings, keep track of the boys' advancements, and attend leaders meetings (Committee meetings). Den Leaders should try to engage the parents in the den meetings to the greatest extent possible, both to make the Den Leader's job easier and to increase the boys' enjoyment. Cub Scouting is a family activity, and den meetings are a great place for family involvement. The Den Leader can go to the Cubmaster or the Den Leader Coach for advice and assistance.

Activity coordinators

An adult from the pack is needed to coordinate the pack’s participation in each activity during the year.  Their task is to be the liaison between the pack and any activity providers, to notify the council of our plans, to work through any necessary details and to assist during the activity to assure that it proceeds smoothly.
