Cub Scout Pack 200
2. Because 7-10 year old boys have
tremendous energy but limited attention spans, formal Pack Meetings will start
on time, and will be typically limited to 1 hour. To help keep Cub
Scout's attention, Pack Business and Activity Sign-ups will be limited to
before and after the formal Pack meeting.
3. To help encourage all Cub Scouts to
accomplish their achievements, each Pack Meeting will feature the recent
accomplishments of the boys including crafts, projects and activities.
4. To help Cub Scouts learn responsibility, Dens
will be assigned appropriate set-up and clean-up activities on a rotating basis
for each pack meeting.
5. We are guests of Derry Presbyterian
Church. Other groups are frequently meeting at the same time. To
encourage Cub Scouts to treat other groups and the facilities with respect, Cub
Scouts will remain with their Den unless permission is granted to go
elsewhere. Running is prohibited in the church at all times.
6. Advancement in Rank is an important
milestone in Cub Scouting. To ensure appropriate recognition, all awards and
advancements completed by the Monday before the pack meeting will be
presented at that month's Pack Meeting.
7. To provide an equal opportunity for all boys,
Advancement in Rank (Wolf, Bear, etc.) is to be accomplished by the last
scheduled pack meeting for each year (typically June).
8. Because 7-10 year old boys have
tremendous energy, Dens are typically limited to 8 boys. This will
require additional leaders as additional boys join the pack.
9. Pack 200 is committed to practicing the
ideals of Scouting "to help other people". It is the policy of
Pack 200 that no Cub Scout should be limited in his accomplishments due to any
unusual family circumstances, including but not limited to financial
considerations. Please see the Cub Master or Committee Chairman with any
problems; due discretion will be used at all times.
10. If due to bad weather, the Derry Presbyterian
Church cancels all programming (which is announced through local TV and Radio
stations), our Scout Program will be cancelled. Other cancellations will
be determined at the agreement of the Cub Master and Committee Chairman.
If a cancellation is determined the Cub Master and Committee Chairman will start
a phone call communication chain to the Den Leaders.
11. All
requests for exceptions to Pack 200 Policies must be made in person at a
regularly scheduled Pack Committee meeting. All reasonable requests will
be carefully considered.
1. Any organization of this size without paid
staff requires all members to participate in running the program. Cub
Scout registrations will be accepted in conjunction with parent/guardian
volunteering for available positions.
2. Scouting is a family activity.
All parents/guardians will help their Cub Scout in the following ways:
a. At least one parent/guardian will attend the
monthly pack meeting with his/her Cub Scout.
b. Parents/guardians will work with their Cub
Scouts to help them reach their potential, and to the fullest extent possible,
achieve the ranks of Cub Scouting.
c. While some of the requirements for Advancement
in Rank will be completed during the weekly Den Meetings, there is not
sufficient time to accomplish all of the requirements. Accordingly,
parents will help Cub Scouts choose the activities that they wish to accomplish
to earn their next Rank, and work with them to complete these activities.
