Putting it out there….
Ladies and gents, we need your help.
Part of the Cub Scout Law says, “…The Cub Scout helps the Pack go. Pack helps the Cub Scout grow…”
We need our Scouts to help our Pack go. How? By having them bring in their friends to join in the Scouting experience. We will be having our annual membership rally in September. However, by having boys bring their friends it’s always a more enjoyable experience to go into an organization where you know someone.
How does the Pack help the Cub Scout Grow? By having willing participants partner with their children by being volunteers to help make the Scouting experience a joyful one for all of us involved. The same few volunteers can’t taken on the lion’s share of the Pack’s business. You’ve all heard the saying, “Many hands make light work,” and that couldn’t be more true.
We need our parents to think and pray over these positions that we need filled immediately.
1) Cubmaster — the person in charge of planning the monthly Pack meetings. Don’t be afraid as there are TONS of resources out there.
2) Award’s Chair — Laura Brown, the current Award’s Chair is going to be stepping into the role of Assistant Cubmaster and we will therefore need another volunteer willing to do the Awards for the boys. This is a BIG PART of Cub Scouting.
3) Webmaster — Tim Hodge and his son have left Scouting and we will need someone to fill this role. We have a simple program that you just need to do updates on which then sends out the mass email blasts of new content on the web.
4) Activity Coordinator — plan the activities and appoint points of contact or BE the point of contact
5) Bear Den Leader — The Benders and the Armstrongs left Den 7 which has left it without a leader. If you’re interested in taking up the reigns of that den, that would be AWESOME! Being a den leader isn’t much work as the meetings are planned out for you. You simply need to execute the plans.
Or, if there’s something YOU want to do that we haven’t named, please let us know.
Everyone in Scouting eventually attritions out — just as April, the current Cubmaster — will in February. As such, these positions really need to be filled every 2 years with new blood to keep our pack active, alive and thriving. We need your help to fill these positions… even if you only do it for one year. It’s one thing that doesn’t fall on someone else’s shoulders. WE NEED YOUR HELP FOR THIS PACK TO SURVIVE.
There is a parent’s meeting scheduled for next Wednesday. We’d like you to be there.
