Committee Info

COMMITTEE INFO

The Pack Committee consists of representatives from each Den and other volunteer adults who are charged with managing the Pack and its programs. Parents are encouraged to volunteer to serve on the Committee and attend regular meetings. Meeting dates are shown on the Pack Calendar. The Pack Committee Chairman must also be approved by the charter organization. Along with the Cubmaster, he or she leads the group in planning and organizing the Pack program. The Committee is also responsible for maintaining Pack funds and planning its budget.

Qualifications

Every pack is under the supervision of a pack committee. This committee consists of a minimum of three members, each of whom meets these requirements: If residing in this country but not a citizen of the United States, agrees to abide by the Scout Oath and Law, to respect and obey the laws of the United States of America, and to subscribe to the BSA statement of religious principle. Is of good character, is 21 years of age or older, is selected by the chartered organization, and is registered as an adult leader of the BSA. One of these is designated as pack committee chair.

Obviously, with a committee of three, members must assume responsibility for more areas of service than with a committee of seven or more, where the responsibilities can be divided among the members. Although packs can and do operate with a minimum of three committee members, experience has shown that a larger committee generally ensures a stronger, more stable pack and is better able to perform all the required functions to ensure a successful pack program. It is also a way of involving more pack families in meaningful service to the pack.

Responsibilities

Regardless of the size of the pack committee, these responsibilities must be performed:

Make recommendations to the chartered organization for final approval of pack leadership.

Recruit the Cubmaster and one or more assistant Cubmasters, with the chartered organization's approval.

Provide adequate and safe facilities for pack meetings.

Coordinate the pack's program and the chartered organization's program through the chartered organization representative.

Help with pack charter renewal.

Help stimulate the interest of adult family members through proper programming.

Supervise finances and equipment.

Work closely with the Cubmaster.

Ensure that all Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts receive a year-round, quality program.

Complete pack committee Fast Start Training and Basic Leader Training for the position. *Assitant Committee positions, other than the Asst. Cubmaster, and specialty or one event positions do not require this training. They are required to be registered adults with the BSA.

Conduct, with the help of the Cubmaster, periodic training for parents and guardians.

Cooperate with other Scouting units.

A strong pack committee will have individual members assigned to such areas as record keeping and correspondence, finances, advancement, training, public relations, and membership and re-registration. The pack committee chair decides how the responsibilities should be divided and gives committee members assignments. Here are details of the various pack committee functions.
