Volunteer!

Cub scouting succeeds based on the involvement of caring adults. ALL of our den leaders and committee members are volunteers! So please be understand that we are doing our best to provide the best program to your scout, while also learning ourselves! Den leaders and assistants directly participate in planning and conducting outings and meetings for scouts of particular ages. Committee members help plan pack activities, such as the winter campout, Pinewood Derby, and spring trip. Please let us know if you are able to help out in any of these roles.

Requirements:

• Completed and Signed Adult Volunteer Application (signed by volunteer in two spots), signed by Committee Chair and the Chartered Organization Representative. Grab one of these in person at a meeting!

• Youth Protection Certificate that does not expire within the current calendar year or proof of training via Training Tools (my.scouting.org, or Training Validation in myscouting.org).
