About Pack 30
|
updated: 8/13/06 |
So, who is Pack 30?
 | Cub
Scout Pack 30 is chartered by the Fairmount Elementary PTO. |
| We
are located in St. Peters, MO. |
| We
currently have seven Dens and about 40 Scouts. |
| We
are part of the Boone Trails District and Greater St. Louis Area Council.
|
I’ve signed up with Pack 30, what happens now?
| You
will be assigned to a Den and contacted by your new Den Leader.
Refer to the Dens
page for a list of Dens and their Leaders.
|
What is a Den and Den Meeting?
| Each
boy is assigned to a “Den”; a group of about 6-8 boys of the same age.
|
| The
Dens meet 1-2 times per month, usually at one of the member’s home, to have
fun and work toward completing activities and achievements.
The Scout’s Families and Den Leader determine meeting times and
locations.
|
What is the Pack and Pack Meetings?
| All
of the Dens at Fairmount make up the Pack (Pack 30).
|
| Once
a month, all the Dens meet together in a Pack Meeting.
The Pack Meetings are for all of the Scouts and their Families; and
consist of Awards, Recognition, Songs & Skits, and Announcements (all of
the boy’s major awards and badges are presented at Pack Meetings).
We try to keep the meeting to about a half-hour, and then we have
some fun – an activity or special guest.
|
| Unless
otherwise announced, Pack Meetings are the 4th Tuesday of each
month at 7:00 PM in the Fairmount Elementary School Cafeteria.
|
What is a Committee Meeting?
| Pack
30 is run by the Pack Committee. The
Committee Meeting is an Adult Only administrative and planning meeting –
this is where the business end of our organization takes place.
All Den Leaders and Pack Leaders attend the meeting; however, any
Adult is welcome and encouraged to attend the Committee Meetings.
Scouting is a volunteer organization, and we are always looking for
parents who are willing to help, even in the smallest way.
The Pack cannot survive if we do not have sufficient adult
leadership.
|
| Unless
otherwise announced, Committee Meetings are the 2nd Tuesday of
each month at 7:00 PM in the Fairmount Elementary School Cafeteria.
|
How will I know what the Pack is doing?
| The
best way to stay informed is to attend your Den Meetings and the Pack
Meetings.
|
| Upcoming
Pack Activities are discussed at the monthly Committee Meetings & Pack
Meetings, and your Den Leader will relay information to you at your Den
Meetings.
|
| Periodically,
a Pack Newsletter is published and will be delivered to all pack members
through your Den Leader (it is also available on the Pack 30 Website on the News
Letters page).
|
| Email
reminders of upcoming pack activities are also sent out a few days in
advance of each activity; sign up for the Pack 30 Email List at the Email
List link on the Pack 30 Website.
|
| At
any time, if you have questions, feel free to call your Den Leader or any of
the Pack Leaders. |
| And
of course, check the Pack 30 website on a regular basis.
|

 | Cubmaster |

Committee page for a list of the current committee members. |
How can I help the Pack?
| There
are many ways you can help Pack 30:
| Please
consider being a Den Leader or Assistant Leader; it is a very rewarding
experience, and you will make a huge impact on the lives of our young
Scouts. |
| Or
consider serving in a Pack Committee Position. |
| Or
volunteer to help plan an individual Pack Activity. |
| We
are always in need of new volunteers, due to the simple fact that the
boys graduate from Cub Scouts and move on the Boy Scouts, and of course
their Parents go with them! |
|
Where can I get more information about Scouting?
We
are very excited that you are a part of Cub Scouts and Pack 30 -- Welcome!!
