FOR PARENT/GUARDIAN(s) WHO WANT TO VOLUNTEER:

All of our Parents are encouraged to help out the Pack in someway. We look for Den Leaders or Asst. Den Leaders every year as boys move up and out of Cubs and into Boy Scouts, parents to help with camping, and volunteers to help with Pack events or field trips. Most of the training required to be a Leader/Asst. Leader is done online at your convenience. The Leader Specific training for your den level takes about 1 hour online. Outdoor Training to run camp-outs is a full day. We also have other Pack positions available in various activities. Often, our Leaders are recognized with their own awards and achievements during the year! You decide how much fun and time you would like to put into Scouting!

Please note: LIONS & TIGERS CUBS MUST HAVE A PARENT/GUARDIAN  WITH THEM AT ALL MEETINGS AND OUTINGS BECAUSE OF THEIR AGE.

Dues for Adults are $34/year and this covers your Scout Insurance as well as your application.

Please contact the Pack if you are interested or you may click on the "Contact Our Pack" at the top of this page. Additionally, all adult volunteers must fill out a CORI form for a background check by the East Carolina Council.
