Family Role
Family involvement is an essential part to Cub Scouting. Cub Scouting gives families an opportunity to spend quality time together. It is the leader's role to provide interest, skill and time in developing a good program. Rank advancement is a responsibility of each Cub Scout’s family and/or legal guardians. The family provides help and support for the Den and Pack. Families can help in many different ways, which may vary from family to family, depending upon family structures and other family responsibilities. Some of the examples of family involvement include:
- Work with their son and give him the opportunity to pass his achievements and electives towards his badge of rank.
- Participate in advancement ceremonies involving their Scout.
- Support and take part in all Pack activities including attending monthly Pack meetings and Den meetings.
- Volunteer in a Pack Committee or help occasionally at Pack meetings or with special Pack activities.
- Help with Pack finances by making sure their son pays his dues on time and participates in Pack fundraisers.
- Cooperate with the Den Leader to help provide the best Scouting Program for their son.
- Provide refreshments, transportation, and communication
