Pack Committee
Every Pack is under the supervision of a Pack Committee. This committee consists of a minimum of three members. Qualifications: Is at least 21 years old, subscribes to the Declaration of Religious Principle, and agrees to abide by the Scout Oath or Promise and the Scout Law. Possesses the moral, educational, and emotional qualities that the Boy Scouts of America deems necessary to afford positive leadership to youth. Is selected by the chartered organization, and is registered as an adult leader of the BSA. One of these members 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.

Meet the Pack 80 Committee!

So…what exactly is the Pack Committee? Basically, it is the group responsible for organizing the Pack and planning its yearly activities. Made up of Scout leaders and parents, 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.
• 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 registration. The pack committee chair decides how the responsibilities should be divided and gives committee members assignments.
