Parent/Guardian Information & Volunteer Form

One form per family, completed each year at registration. If another parent or guardian in your household has already submitted this year, you don’t need to.

Cub Scouting runs on volunteers, and every family plays a part. This form gives us your contact information and helps us match you with a role that fits your time and talents.

Each family is asked to complete at least 2 hours of volunteer service during the year. Signing up for and completing any role meets this requirement. If you’re unable to volunteer, you can choose the $150 Volunteer Opt-Out instead.

Selecting a role isn’t a commitment yet. Once we’ve heard from enough families, a pack leader will reach out to match roles. Already turned in a paper form? You’re all set.

What Each Role Does (tap to expand)

Committee Leadership

Advancement Chair: Runs the Needs Purchasing report from Scoutbook before each pack meeting and places the badge order with the Scout Shop. The single highest-impact open role in the pack. A few hours before each pack meeting.
Membership Chair: Welcomes new families, coordinates registration paperwork, and helps with recruiting follow-up after events like Kickoff and National Night Out. Great fit for someone who’s organized and likes being a friendly first contact for new scouts.
Secretary: Takes minutes at monthly committee meetings and helps keep agendas and records organized. About one evening a month, plus a little follow-up.
Activities/Events Chair: Helps coordinate logistics for Blue and Gold and pack service projects: venue, headcounts, and supplies. Works closely with the Committee Chair.

Event Helpers

Pinewood Derby Set-Up: Helps set up the track the evening before race day.
Pinewood Derby Check-In: Checks in cars and racers the morning of Pinewood Derby.
Scouting for Food Assistant: Helps coordinate our January food drive. One weekend dropping door hangers, one weekend collecting food.
End-of-Year Cookout Grubmaster: Plans food for our spring cookout at Squirrel Lake Park.
End-of-Year Campout Grubmaster: Plans meals for our final campout of the year.
Pack Meeting Special Speaker: A one-time visit to share your job, hobby, or skill with the scouts. Perfect if you don’t have time for an ongoing role but have something fun to share.
