Volunteering Opportuntiies

Safeguarding Youth Training

Scouting America places the greatest importance on creating the most secure environment possible for our youth members. To maintain such an environment, the BSA developed numerous procedural and leadership selection policies and provides parents and leaders with resources for the program.

Helping

In Cub Scouting there are so many opportunities to volunteer. You want to get involved, but you’re not sure where to start. The best way to help is not to wait until someone asks, but by providing assistance when you know someone needs it.

What things are you good at?
What do you enjoy doing?
What hobbies or skills do you have?

Remember not every volunteer in Cub Scouting wears a uniform. Everyone has different skills and ways they can contribute to make the Cub Scouting experience meaningful. No matter how you want to get involved, thank you for making the first move to volunteer and help with our Pack.

Volunteering

Being a volunteer in Scouting America means you have registered as an adult and have gone through an approval process.

Registering as an adult in your Pack lets others know that you are willing to go beyond just helping others but willing to take on responsibilities in the Pack. To serve in a volunteer position in Scouting requires an adult to register with Scouting America.

Complete an adult application.
Complete the online Safeguarding Youth Training.
The pack reviews and approves the application.

Not all volunteers work directly with youth. Many serve in positions that support those who do.

Leading

Being a leader means you are a registered volunteer that takes on a personal commitment to ensure that Scouting is being delivered in a safe manner, the way it was designed, and in a way that makes it meaningful to everyone involved.

Leaders take training for the position that they are in and continue training beyond position specific training, They attend local training events where other leaders share best methods.

Being a leader means you care about the Cub Scouting program beyond your current position. You want to see it strengthen and grow long after you and your Cub Scout have moved beyond the pack.
