-
- For the one year that I was active in Cub Scouts (5th grade Webelos
- Leader), the way I saw it done was that the Pack Committee handled
- all the support tasks, while the Cubmaster handled anything directly
- related to the boys. Our Troop does it the same way.
-
- The result was that the Cubmaster recruited the Den Leaders, while the
- Committee Chair recruited the Treasurer, Blue and Gold Dinner Chair,
- arranged for meeting space for the Pack meetings, etc.
-
- One final thing- I personally believe that the Committee Chair should
- be given visibility because, to most of the parents and all the kids,
- the central figure is the Scoutmaster (and they don't even know about
- the Troop or Pack Committee).
