Volunteer Opportunities:

If you are already active in Pack 12, we have a few volunteer opportunities we would like you to consider:
  • Cubmaster: Our current Cubmaster is due to leave the position in February.  If you enjoy acting like a 9-year-old boy, and love providing 'fun with a purpose' then consider this opportunity.
  • Assistant Cubmaster: Acting as a back-up for the Cubmaster, we welcome several parents to volunteer for this position.  If you find you enjoy it so much, you could even transition into our Cubmaster as well.
  • Fundraising Chair:  We would love someone with fundraising experience to help us plan an manage fundraising activities to fun our pack program.  This position would be busy in the July timeframe for planning, and various months throughout the year as we roll-out our fundraisers.
