In general, the Cubmaster (sometimes referred to as the unit leader) is the guiding hand behind the work of

other pack leaders and serves as program adviser to the pack committee-a recruiter, a supervisor, a director, a

planner, a motivator of other leaders. The responsibilities can be boiled down to the following:

1. Work directly with the den leader coach, Tiger Cub coach, Cub Scout den leaders, Webelos

functioning well.

2. Plan the den and pack programs with the help of other leaders.

3. Lead the monthly pack meeting with the help of others. Involve all dens in some way.

4. Coordinate the total Cub Scout program in the pack. Everything the Cubmaster does is

aimed at helping the individual boy. Securing strong leaders, planning den and pack

activities, advising other leaders and parents. These are all ways in which the Cubmaster

affects the kind of Cub Scouting each boy in the pack is offered. Although this job is an

executive position, the Cubmaster has direct influence on the lives of individual boys by

keeping in mind that boys can be made better through Cub Scouting.
