VOLUNTEERING IN THE PACK

Believe it or not, Pack 514 is completely run by volunteer parents of Cub Scouts active in our program. Each parent who volunteers in Pack Leadership and in our Parent Committee is not only helping enhance the program for their scout but for all the scouts in Pack 514. As a parent volunteer's scout advances through the program and leaves to join a Troop, parent volunteers will "age out" of the pack as well. For this reason, we are always looking for parents to support our program by taking on leadership roles with their scout's den or pack and be valued members of our Parent Committee, which is led by our Committee Chair Jessica Arias. Remember, you are already going to be there with your scout. Make it more special by taking an active role with your scout's pack by participating and showing how much you care about your scout.

All Adult Leaders undergo online and, in some cases, in-person training courses put on by Boy Scouts of America to ensure that our program is consistent with the national program and that all youth in the program are protected. Adult Leaders work together to share experiences and den management techniques so that no leader feels unsupported in our program. A share of fundraising profits and yearly dues go towards helping offset the fees that Adult Leaders incur during their yearly registration and training process. If you are donating your time, we feel that you shouldn't have to always pay for it as well. 

Our Pack also has a 100 Point Family Participation Pledge that we expect all families to meet. Basically volunteering and participating earns points and we hope that by the end of the year, your family will earn 100 points which earns your scout a special patch, and gives 1 adult a special shirt as recognition for their participation. 

If you are interested in volunteering to give your scout the best scouting experience, but don't know where to start, please fill out the Family Talent Survey and email it to pack514leadership@gmail.com. If you know what you'd like to do, start by filling out a Scouting America Adult Application
