Pack Committee

HAVE FUN WHILE HELPING!

Committee Meetings are held once a month, typically at 7:30pm on the first Thursday of the month via Google Meet. Once a quarter we meet on Friday instead and enjoy dinner together (kids and family welcome!).

The purpose of the Committee is to do all of the things that Den Leaders don't (or shouldn't) be doing so that they can concentrate on their Den activities. This includes fun stuff like Pack Meetings, Campouts, Hikes, Field Trips and other Pack Events, as well as Pack business like Fundraisers, Awards, Leader Training, Scout Recruitment, etc. Positions range from low level to very active and from time specific events to year round responsibilities. There's a position to meet everyone's interests and time availability.
