Pack 161 is the largest pack in the Council, and each year it gets bigger and bigger.  Even after splitting with the Holmes pack, we recruited so many new scouts that we are bigger than we were before!  We have been blessed with terrific boys and wonderful, supportive parents.  Part of what makes Pack 161 so successful is the dedication of parents who volunteer to be den leaders or on the Pack Committee.  Looking forward to next year, we would love to expand our group of helpers – and we are hoping that you are willing to help.

I am often asked “why aren’t more men involved in Cub Scouts?”

Great question!  Many other packs have men who lead dens and run the pack itself.  It can be done.  There are many leadership roles you can help with.  But whether you are a father or a mother (or an aunt or uncle or cousin or sibling), you are welcome!  Many hands make light work and we have many smaller roles that don’t require attending meetings or sacrificing large blocks of time.  And we encourage job sharing!  We are all busy, but working with a partner might make a position more appealing (and less time-consuming).
