VOLUNTEERING
|
|
Everything that happens in Pack 802 happens as a result of adult and parent volunteers. Volunteers can register to
become a scout leader and complete training and eventually run the program from the Den or Pack levels. Some volunteers
will choose to participate as part of the Pack committee or on event committees. Others prefer to assist in a lesser but
still important capacity such as volunteering to help out den and Pack meetings by bringing supplies, helping manage the
scouts, or offering suggestions for activities.
Whatever a person's individual talents are, we need and want your help and will find a volunteer position for you - either
short or long term. Without any doubt it is the assistance of our volunteers that makes the Pack 802 scouting program successful.
A good Pack cannot and will not run on its own, it needs dedicated volunteers like just like you to keep it going.
Our Pack Committee Chairs and Den Leaders meet once a month at our Committee Meeting. Each and every parent is welcome and encouraged to attend.
If you are interested in filling a particular position on the Pack committee, on a working committee, or at the den level please
contact a committee member / den leader today so that you can start helping us build a better tomorrow.

LEADERSHIP TRAINING
|
Research shows that a trained unit leader will retain 18% more youth than an untrained leader. For example, the leading reason youth
cite for leaving Scouting is boring meetings. A trained leader knows how to keep youth excited and interested. Plus, parents expect
that their children will be led by a qualified, trained leader.
Below are some of the different types of training that you can recieve as a volunteer for our Cub Scout Pack.
