The Pack Committee is made up of parents, leaders, and other caring adults. The pack committee works to support den leaders and the cubmaster. Every pack is under the supervision of a pack committee, which consists of the parents and guardians of the Cub Scouts and leaders of the pack with at least three specific positions: committee chair, secretary, and treasurer. By handling administrative and support tasks, the pack committee allows the Cubmaster, den leaders, and their assistants to focus on working directly with the Cub Scouts. Every Cub Scout parent or guardian is invited to become a member of the pack committee. The committee meets monthly and includes the responsibilities below.

BSA POLICY on Religion:
Religious Principles In its Charter and Bylaws, the BSA maintains that no member can grow into the best kind of citizen without recognizing an obligation to God. No matter what the religious faith of a member might be, this fundamental need of good citizenship must be kept before the member. Although the BSA recognizes the religious element in the training of a member, it is absolutely nonsectarian in its attitude toward that religious training. The BSA does not define what constitutes a belief in God or the practice of religion. The BSA does not require membership in a religious organization or association in order to join Scouting but strongly encourages membership and participation in the religious program and activities of a church, synagogue, or other religious association. The BSA respects the convictions of those who exercise their constitutional freedom to practice religion as individuals without formal membership in religious organizations. When a Scouting unit is associated with a church or other distinctly religious organization, no members of other denominations or faiths shall be required, because of membership in the unit, to take part in or observe a religious ceremony distinctly unique to that organization or church. Only people willing to subscribe to these declarations of principles shall be entitled to certificates of leadership in carrying out the Scouting program.
