Adult leadership in a Cub Scout pack is responsible for guiding and supporting the younger scouts (typically ages 5-10) through the Cub Scouts program, which focuses on fun, learning, and character-building activities. The leadership structure in a Cub Scout pack typically includes both direct leadership roles and support roles. Here are the key adult leader positions in a Cub Scout pack:
Cubmaster – The Cubmaster is the primary leader of the pack, responsible for overseeing pack meetings, coordinating activities, and ensuring that the Cub Scouts have an enjoyable and enriching experience. The Cubmaster works closely with den leaders, the pack committee, and parents to deliver the Cub Scout program. They serve as the main adult point of contact for the pack.
Assistant Cubmaster(s) – Assistant Cubmasters support the Cubmaster in planning and running pack meetings and activities. They may take on specific duties, such as leading certain parts of the program or helping to manage groups of scouts during events. They fill in for the Cubmaster if needed.
Den Leaders – Den Leaders are responsible for leading a specific den, which is a smaller group of Cub Scouts (by age group, such as Tiger, Wolf, Bear, or Webelos). They plan and run den meetings, working directly with the scouts to help them earn achievements, develop skills, and work on advancement. Den Leaders also guide the scouts in working toward rank advancements and other milestones.
Assistant Den Leaders – Assistant Den Leaders support the Den Leader in running den meetings, providing additional assistance with planning and facilitating activities, and helping to engage the scouts. They may also take over in the absence of the Den Leader.
Pack Committee Chair – The Pack Committee Chair is responsible for leading the pack committee, which handles the administrative and logistical aspects of the pack, such as organizing events, managing the budget, recruiting volunteers, and coordinating fundraising efforts. The Committee Chair ensures that the program is running smoothly and that the pack stays in line with Scouting policies.
Pack Committee Members – Committee members assist in organizing the day-to-day operations of the pack, helping with event planning, finances, record-keeping, and communication. They work with the Cubmaster and Pack Committee Chair to ensure the pack's program is successful and runs efficiently.
Pack Treasurer – The Treasurer handles the pack’s finances, including managing any fundraising efforts, keeping track of dues and expenses, and ensuring that the pack stays within budget. They often report to the Pack Committee Chair.
Pack Secretary – The Secretary helps with communication, such as taking meeting minutes, managing contact lists, and sending out reminders for meetings or events. They also keep track of records and documentation, such as advancement forms or event rosters.
Advancement Chair – The Advancement Chair is responsible for tracking the progress of scouts toward rank advancements, ensuring that awards and advancements are properly documented and presented, and working with Den Leaders to ensure that scouts are achieving their goals.
These roles, working together, ensure the smooth operation of the Cub Scout pack, provide a structured and fun program for the scouts, and help create a supportive community for both scouts and their families.
