| Pack Role | Description |
| Cubmaster | The Cubmaster is the face of the Pack! This person leads our monthly Pack meetings, supports Den Leaders, and ensures the program stays fun and engaging for our Scouts. A love of working with kids and a positive attitude is key. No experience necessary—training is available! |
| Chartered Organization Representative | The Charter Org Rep is the liaison between the Pack and our sponsoring organization: Hillsborough Elementary School HSA. This person ensures we build a relationship with the HSA, explore mutually benefitting activities, approves adult leaders, and helps support the health of the Pack. This role is primarily administrative and a great fit for someone who prefers behind-the-scenes work. |
| Lion Den Leader | Den Leaders guide a small group of Kindergarten Scouts (a “Den”) through fun, hands-on activities and adventures that help them earn badges and grow in character. Den meetings happen once per month, and all lesson plans and materials are provided by the Cub Scout program. You don’t need to be an expert—just someone who enjoys working with kids and is willing to lead with enthusiasm! |
| Tiger Den Leader | Den Leaders guide a small group of 1st grade Scouts (a “Den”) through fun, hands-on activities and adventures that help them earn badges and grow in character. Den meetings happen twice per month, and all lesson plans and materials are provided by the Cub Scout program. You don’t need to be an expert—just someone who enjoys working with kids and is willing to lead with enthusiasm! |
| Service Coordinator | The Service Coordinator organizes community service opportunities for the Pack, such as park cleanups, food drives, etc. This role helps our Scouts live out the value of “doing a good turn daily” and fosters community connections. |
| Baloo-Trained Adult | This adult completes the Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) training, which is required for the Pack to hold overnight campouts. BALOO-trained adults attend campouts to help lead and ensure safety. If you love the outdoors and want to camp with the Pack, this one’s for you! |
| FUNdraising Coordinator | The Fundraising Coordinator helps organize and oversee Pack fundraising efforts (like Dineouts or community events). This person sets goals, communicates plans to families, and keeps things organized to ensure we have the funds needed for a great year of Scouting! |
| Winter Sleepover Coordinator | Organize Friday or Saturday overnight sleepover including research, communications, booking, serving as pack liaison for site (e.g., Adventure Aquarium, Museum, Iron Peak, zoo, etc.) |
| Assistant Cubmaster | The Assistant Cubmaster supports the Cubmaster in leading Pack meetings and events, and helps ensure everything runs smoothly. This role is great for someone who wants to be involved in a leadership capacity, but with a little more flexibility. You may step in to lead when the Cubmaster is unavailable and help with communication, coordination, and Scout engagement. A great stepping-stone into Cub Scout leadership—training and guidance provided! |
| Committee Member | Committee Members help with the planning and administrative side of the Pack. Whether it’s organizing events, helping with finances, or supporting leader recruitment, this is a flexible role with a big impact. Great for parents who want to contribute but can’t commit every week. |
| Pack Photographer | Capture the memories! The Pack Photographer takes photos at Pack events, campouts, and ceremonies to help document our Scouts’ adventures. These photos may be shared in newsletters, yearbooks, social media (with parent permission), and more. If you enjoy photography and being part of the action, this is a fun, creative way to contribute! |
| Social Media Coordinator & Webmaster | Partner with Photographer & Recruiter to post real-time photos and messages about pack activities |
| Pack Recruiter/New Member Coordinator | This friendly, outgoing person helps welcome new families into the Pack! The Pack Recruiter works with local schools and community partners/websites to promote joining events and supports new families with information, paperwork, and answers to common questions. You’ll help new Scouts and parents feel confident and excited to join the adventure. |
| Shed Coordinator | Keep shed organized and ensure materials are available for Pack meetings |
