CUBMASTER

Everything the Cubmaster does is aimed at helping the individual boy.

 

Securing strong leaders, planning den and pack activities, advising other leaders and adult family members—these are all ways in which the Cubmaster affects the kind of Cub Scouting each boy in the pack is offered.

 

The Cubmaster directly influences the lives of individual boys by keeping in mind that boys can become better through Cub Scouting.

The Cubmaster's responsibilities are to:

  • Conduct a pack program according to the policies of the BSA.

  • Complete Cubmaster Fast Start Training and position-specific Basic Leader Training. Attend monthly roundtables.

  • Plan and help carry out the Cub Scout program in the pack. This includes leading the monthly pack meeting, with the help of other leaders.
