Parental involvement is crucial for the success of Cub Scout Pack 676! Not only does it support our youth, you also meet friends and learn leadership skills! Here are some ways parents can participate:
Volunteer as Den Leaders or Assistants: Den leaders guide small groups of scouts (called dens) through activities, adventures, and achievements. Parents can volunteer to lead a den or assist existing den leaders.
Join the Pack Committee: The pack committee oversees administrative tasks, fundraising, and planning events. Parents can serve as committee members, helping organize meetings, outings, and pack activities.
Attend Pack Meetings and Events: Regular pack meetings are a great way to stay informed and connect with other families. Parents can attend meetings, campouts, hikes, and other pack events.
Share Skills and Talents: Parents can offer their expertise in various fields—whether it’s teaching a craft, leading a nature hike, or sharing knowledge about STEM topics.
Help with Fundraising: Packs often rely on fundraising to support activities. Parents can assist with fundraising events or contribute ideas for creative fundraising initiatives.
Chaperone Outings: When the pack goes on outings or field trips, parents can volunteer as chaperones to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all scouts.
Remember, parental involvement not only enriches the scouting experience for the children but also fosters a sense of community among families. If you’re interested, reach out to the leadership—they’ll be thrilled to have you on board!
