Cub Scouting is NOT a Sideline Sport

A well-run Cub Scout Pack takes leaders (volunteers to work with the boys), committee members (volunteers to handle the administration of the Pack) and special task appointees (volunteers that handle one-time events). 

Which Cub Scout Pack sounds better to you and will be more interesting for a young boy? - One that is teaming with lots of purposeful activites designed to help them have fun while developing critical life skills, or one that is constant running short of resources where only a few parent/volunteers contribute and consequently the ones that do contribute eventually burn-out because of overload. 

When everyone pitches in, the work load is lighter for everyone - and the more fun you and your Cub Scout will have because you both have something invested in the process.

It is a mistake to assume that someone else is going to help - Pack 137 needs your help.  There is a training for every position and help is always available.  Cub Scouting is not a spectator sport - parental support is essential and required.  Scouting has a 100+ year track record of helping boys develop life and leadership skills - it's hard to argue with success.
