Sixer/Second Council

Sixer/Second Councils are a very important part of the Cub Scout Program. The Council meetings give Sixers and Seconds leadership skills and help them appreciate the importance and responsibilities of their position. These Meetings should be held approximately once every month or two. For the first Council Meeting of the year, you may want to have it on a regular meeting night. After the first Council Meeting, Packs may want to start having them on a separate night and at a different location maybe go on a sixer hike and have your meeting at the top of a mountain!!

The Council Meetings are to be informal. Some things that should be discussed during these meetings are topics such as program interests, Six or Pack discipline problems, Sixers' and Seconds' responsibilities in future meetings, upcoming programs and outings, evaluation and review of past programs, remembering sick Cubs, community service, and anything else the Cub Scouts want to discuss. Also in preparation for upcoming meetings, additional training may be provided to the Sixers and Seconders so that they can take on more of a leadership role when a particular program is held.
