Thousands of volunteer leaders, both men and women, are involved in the Cub Scout program around the country. Our Pack is run entirely by parent volunteers and they serve in a variety of positions, everything from unit leaders and den leaders to pack committee members. Without these parent volunteers, the Cub Scout program could not be carried out so we encourage any parent that is interested to consider registering as a leader in our Pack. Training is provided and no prior experience is needed – most of our leaders knew nothing about Cub Scouts when they joined.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering - the following information should help you get started with registering as a leader with our Pack.

- Participate in quarterly Pack committee meetings
- Wear the Adult Uniform to Pack Meetings and Events - as you wear your den leaders uniform it not only identifies you as a very important member of the Boy Scouts of America but it also sets a good example for the scouts in our Pack - see the following page for uniform info: https://sites.google.com/view/bronxpack162/leader-pages/adult-leader-uniform-info
- Take additional training that will get you fully “TRAINED” in your position - Every Scout Deserves a Trained Leader and Every Leader deserves training so s/he can successfully deliver the scouting program! Please see the Unit Coordinator on how to get started or if you have any questions.
- We recognize any training our Leaders take at our Pack Meetings - the Pack will purchase and provide any other emblems, awards and patches that are needed or earned by each Leader. Please let the unit coordinator know of any training that is done or awards earned so that the Pack can properly recognize your efforts.
