Support, Teach, Guide, Help

Cub Scouting is about achievement and personal growth. Most projects for the 1st and 2nd Graders are designed to require parental assistance and support but even a Webelos scout will need a parent to help them succeed.

Responsibilities

The Scouts, the families and the Pack must work together to make a solid Scouting program for your sons. The Scouting program is an exercise in cooperation between all three of these parts. The Pack cannot give your son a good program if the Pack doesn't get the support of the parents and volunteers.

The Scout's Obligations to the Pack

• Do My Best in everything I do.
• Obey the rules set down by the Pack.
• Obey the Den Leader(s) and Assistant Den Leader(s) and follow their rules.
• Participate in pack activities whenever possible.
• Respect others, their rights and their property at all times.
• Be on time for all meetings and functions. It is not fair for the others to have to wait for me.
• Keep my uniform clean and in good repair with all my insignia properly placed.
• Wear my uniform proudly to all events and functions unless told otherwise by my Den Leader(s).

Parental Obligations to the Pack

• Work with your son on his achievements and electives. Scouting is a "Family Affair" and he cannot do it alone. If assistance is needed, ask your son's Den Leader(s).
• Accompany your son to Pack meeting. One parent is required, but the entire family is welcome.
• Volunteer and become involved. When we ask for parental assistance there's a reason for it. The den and pack leaders can not, and should not, have to do everything! The more you are involved, the more you will both enjoy the Cub Scout experience. Remember... this is a family experience.
• Voice your opinions, thoughts and comments. The only way we can improve the program is to know what it is you and your son want.
• Let us know of any problems as soon as they occur - don't wait. We don't know about something that is upsetting you unless we are told. Contact the Cubmaster or the Committee Chair directly if you don't feel comfortable going to your Den Leader(s). Please remember, we are all volunteers, investing our personal time to help your son. The best thing you can do is raise your hand and join us!!!

The Pack's Obligations to You and Your Son

• Provide a solid Scouting program that you can both be proud of.
• Provide the means of advancement in a timely manner for the Scouts.
• Provide quality trained Den Leaders.
• Provide the opportunity to participate in various outings and activities.
• Provide a safe Scouting environment and meeting place.
• Communicate news and current Scout events to you in a timely manner.
