Volunteer

Cub Scouts is a parent-led program that relies on the families to keep it running. In Cub Scouting there are so many opportunities to volunteer. The pack has created a volunteer survey which can be found here:

FAMILY TALENT SURVEY

We are asking every parent to take the survey. Think about your family and future families of Scouting – now is the time they need you. Volunteering can feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. The pack will help new leaders every step of the way.

We will have a presentation on the specific roles we are looking to fill at the first pack meeting. But you don’t have to wait- please reach out to Kristen or Chris if you are ready to get started.
