Pack 3 is Run by Parent Volunteers!

All the Pack's activities, events, back-office functions, leadership positions, fundraisers, event helpers and other functions are all run by SCOUT PARENTS that have a son(s) in Cub Scout Pack 3. There are no paid personnel doing any of our Pack 3’s functions! We are all volunteer parents.

Yea I know...the uniform is FLY right!?

NO SCOUTING EXPERIENCE NECESSARY

We, as parents of Cub Scout Pack 3, want the very best for our sons…therefore, to get the most out of Scouting, we all have to pitch in to “Help Pack 3 Go.” To do this, please get with your Pack Leaders and take on one or more of the vital positions listed below so that your son(s) can get the very best Scouting experience for him and his future development. And along the way as a Pack Leader, Chair or Event Helper, you will have some fun also!

Girl Friend... why the skirt?

Lastly, you do not have to worry that you will be doing it all by yourself. Our Pack 3 Leadership will be developing "How-To-Guides" for all positions, activities, events and functions in our Pack. Also, you will be mentored by past Leaders who have already held that particular position. Plus we will get other parents to work with you as general Event Helpers.

Don't wait, contact us today by clicking on the "Contact our Pack" link at the top center of this webpage or contact your Den Leader. Be an important part or role model for your son and our scouts in Pack 3 today.

Volunteering

We need YOUR help! -- and there are BENEFITS!!!

Scouting operates through volunteer leadership. Volunteer leaders are an example of Scouting’s principle of service to others. Naturally, parents are the primary source of leaders in the Scouting program. You volunteer not only to serve scouting, but also to help your son and his friends -- and to have the chance to be a positive influence on the youth in your community. Being a leader is fun, challenging and rewarding. Many leaders find that their experiences help them to become better parents. Here are some of the many dividends that will enrich your life as you dedicate your time, talents, and enthusiasm to Scouting:

1. Fun and fellowship with other families, sharing your pride in the boys’ accomplishments.
2. The privilege of helping to enrich and strengthen families.
3. A chance to help boys learn good citizenship and to help shape them into men who have strength of character and are sensitive to the needs of others.
4. The opportunity to help make a difference in the lives of boys as they grow strong in mind and body.
5. A code to live by which sets a worthwhile example for both boys and adults.
6. The satisfaction of being a member of a worldwide movement,and pride in being publicly identified as a part of this organization (Wearing the Scouting uniform is a visible means of showing you believe in and stand up for the ideals and objectives of the BSA).
