enough boys and adults to follow the Scouting program is the key to success.
A Cub Scout Pack should have at least a den per age group; Tiger
Cub Den, Wolf Den, Bear Den and Webelos Den. A Boy Scout Troop
should have at least two to three patrols.
Family involvement is essential to Scouting's success. When we talk
about "family" in Scouting, we're sensitive to the realities of present-day
families. Many Scouts do not come from traditional two-parent homes.
Some boys live with a single parent or with other relatives or guardians.
Scouting considers a boy's family to be the people with whom he lives.
The Boy Scouts of America relies on volunteers to provide leadership and
support to Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, and Venturing crews.
Scouting volunteers come to Scouting from a variety of backgrounds and
experiences. Plumbers, lawyers, housewives, teachers, doctors, janitors,
and scientists—people from just about every occupation imaginable—are
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.
You Benefit, Too. Whether you wish to volunteer your time with elementary school–age boys or middle and high school –age youth, the Boy Scouts of America has a volunteer opportunity that is right for you. In addition to the reward of working with youth, through volunteering for Scouts you will:
Develop a greater level of pride in your community.
