Parent’s Role

Parent Involvement at Meetings

The Cub Scouting program is designed to be led by parents and guardians! Not every parent feels up to being a Den Leader or organized enough to be the Treasurer, but there are many small and large ways parent can help in Pack 100’s activities.

As parents we are Akela (Ah-kay-la) – the good leaders. We share this responsibility with their Den Leader.

Your child will appreciate the fact that you care enough about their Cub Scouting experience to become involved in their Den, the Pack Committee, or even a leadership position. As your child progresses from Lion Cub to Scout, your involvement in their Scouting career evolves just as theirs does.

Parent Involvement – Pack Committee

Our Pack Committee meets on third Mondays of the month after the Den meeting: 7:15- 8:00 pm in the Olivet Room.
