Pack Parents

Helping * Volunteering * Leading

Pack parents are expected to be active within the Pack and attend all Den and Pack meetings and activities. The Cub Scout program is designed to be family oriented with parent involvement lessening during the Webelos and Arrow of Light years (4th and 5th grades) and into the later Scouting years.

Parent involvement within the Cub Scout program can include leading a meeting, helping with activities for the Den or Pack, coordinating our service projects, serving on a planning committee, collecting donations for events, providing a snack/food item for a trip, staffing product sales table, etc.

Pack parents agree to keep up to date with Pack dues and to complete an annual medical form for every member of the family that will be attending outings with the Pack. It is highly recommended that parents also complete SAFE Guarding Youth Training online and email your completion card to pack215stmark@gmail.com.

Pack 215 uses Scoutbook to track each Scout’s advancement, attendance, account, and awards. Parents are asked to sign up for a free account to keep connected with the Pack as well as to help track their Scouts’ advancements progress and account. Sign up at www.scoutbook.com. You can also download the Scoutbook app for your smartphone.

Parents are also encourged to attend the Pack's Planning Meetings, even if you're not a member of the Pack Committee or Uniformed Leaders. These meetings are when we make decisions on the happenings and functions of the Pack for the year. They are held bi-monthly throughout the year and are included on the Pack calendar so everyone knows when they are scheduled.
