A pack is a group of Cub Scouts, adult leaders and parents who belong to the same Cub Scout unit (e.g., Pack 349 of the South Mountain District, Minsi Trails Council). A pack generally draws its membership primarily from an elementary school or church that is associated with the pack's Chartered Organization. Each pack is made up of Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear and Webelos dens.

Who Runs the Pack?

The pack is run entirely by unpaid volunteers.

• The Pack Committee, which currently consists of the Committee Chairman, Cubmaster, Assistant Cubmasters and the Treasurer, develops budgets, approves expenses, arranges for facilities and conducts overall planning. The Committee meets immediately prior to each monthly Den Leaders meeting.
• The Den Leaders and Assistant Den Leaders are most directly involved with the Cub Scouts. Dens generally meet weekly or bi-weekly, and a Den Leaders meeting is held monthly to discuss issues of common concern.
• An adult member of each Cub Scout household (not including Tiger Cubs) is expected to participate in a volunteer position or serve on a committee. In addition to Pack Committee and Den Leader positions, Pack 101 generally tries to fill 15-20 volunteer positions (e.g., Membership Chairman, Advancement Chairman, Den Leader Coach, Tiger Cub Organizer) and have 8-10 committees (e.g., Blue and Gold Banquet, Derby, Graduation Picnic)

Each pack meeting is planned around a theme, such as "Dial 911" or "Do a Good Turn". Most pack meetings include songs, skits, games, advancements, adult recognition, the Cubmaster's message and other activities. All Cub Scouts and at least one parent are expected to attend. Other family members are welcome.
