Parents come together to make Scouting great for all of our kids! Scouting volunteers come to Scouting from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. Plumbers, lawyers, housewives, teachers, doctors, janitors, and scientists\u2014people from just about every occupation imaginable\u2014are involved in leading youth to become responsible, caring, and competent citizens. They also quickly discover that Scout volunteering enables them to learn new skills and build lifelong friendships while having fun. We have also found that the more involved the parent is, the more involved the child is, and your son or daughter benefits by seeing you are invested in their growth and program!<\/p>\n<h4>Leadership Roles<\/h4>\n<p>These are some of the roles filled within our Pack. You have the chance to meet these individuals at Pack events.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cubmaster &amp; Assistant Cubmaster<\/strong> \u2014 helps plan and carry out the pack program with the help of the pack committee; emcees the monthly pack meeting and attends the pack leaders\u2019 meeting<\/p>\n<p><strong>Den Leaders<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 leads the den at weekly den and monthly pack meetings; attends the monthly pack leaders\u2019 meeting<\/p>\n<p><strong>Committee Chair<\/strong> \u2014 resides at all pack committee meetings; helps recruit adult leaders; works with the Cubmaster to ensure the pack properly provides the Cub Scout program<\/p>\n<p><strong>Committee Members<\/strong> \u2014 attends pack committee meetings to help plan program; members include the treasurer, membership coordinator, outdoor activities, trainer, advancement chair, and general committee members<\/p>\n<p><strong>Den Chief<\/strong> &#8211; these older youth from Scouts BSA assist den leaders; are a role model and mentor for our Cub Scouts<\/p>\n<h4>Council<\/h4>\n<p>Every Pack is part of a larger District, which supports recruiting, program support, leader training, and area activities such as Cub Launch and Day\/Twilight Camps.\u00a0Each District is part of a Council, which provides similar support as the District but on a larger scale. Our Pack is a part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/stlbsa.org\/boonetrails\/\">Boone Trails District<\/a> within the <a href=\"http:\/\/stlbsa.org\/\">Greater St. Louis Area Council<\/a>. This includes volunteers as well as paid BSA officials.<\/p>\n<h4>Training<\/h4>\n<p>The BSA places the highest importance on providing a secure environment for all Scouts. Youth Protection Training is required for all leaders who interact with youth, to ensure our adults are familiar with our youth protection policies and procedures, can recognize signs of abuse, and know how to report suspected abuse. The training must be taken every two years.<\/p>\n<p>Leader-specific training is also provided to present in-depth information for a new leader. This gives volunteers the tools needed to perform their duties within the unit. These courses, as well as youth protection, are offered locally and also are available online. Many materials, such as meeting guides, are also provided to support our leaders, along with the backing of the committee to help them guide our Scouts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cub Scouting is a program put on by volunteers.
