Based at Trinity Presbyterian Church in McKinney, TX, Pack 496 provides a quality year-round program.
The Cub Scout journey is an invaluable experience especially when you bring a helping hand. Everyone on our Pack's leadership team is a parent just like you and we are always in need of more support for activities and events.
Lion Den Leader 2025/2026 - Each den is led by an adult den leader in addition to other parents. Together they plan and carry out a year-round program of activities for the den. Ideally, you will lead your child's den and advance through the ranks with your child through the years. Dens are the heart of Cub Scouts and kids love seeing their parents in this role!
Popcorn Kernal - The Popcorn Kernal is responsible for the overall organization and implementation of our Pack's popcorn season (August-November). This person ensures promotion, reporting of sales and orders, popcorn payments, and prizes. More information about the Popcorn Fundraising program is HERE. If there are several parents willing to help, tasks could be divided up from weekend to weekend.
Camping Committee Chair - This role primarily orders food, picks it up, and brings it to the campsite. This person will also want to gather a few other parents to help with serving food at meal times. It's a relatively easy job and is only needed two or three times out of the year (depending on weather).
Pinewood Derby Race Committee Chair - The Pinewood Derby Race is probably our most popular event! We need someone to help promote, communicate rules and regulations, organize check-ins, gather a set-up/break-down crew of other parents, and oversee the race itself. It's a flashy event, but it only happens once a year!
Cubmobile Committee Chair - Another favorite event is letting kids ride wooden soapbox derby styled cars. We need someone to help promote and organize the event, coordinate materials needed and gather a set-up/break-down crew. Like the Pinewood Derby Race Committee Chair this is just a once a year event, so your job will be done quickly!
The Cubmaster, Den leaders, and a Committee of volunteer parents (JUST LIKE YOU!) run the Pack. The Pack leaders meet once a month to plan events, manage the Pack records and finances, train new leaders and assist the Dens. All parents are encouraged to participate in the leadership of the Pack. The following parent volunteers are responsible for the running for the Pack. Individual Dens have separate parent volunteer leaders.
