The adults who provide guidance, supervision, support and time to make Pack 978 a success, are all volunteers. Most have busy careers and family lives, so they will need YOUR help

How you support your son’s Pack, Den or Patrol, depends on your talent and available time. Both mothers and fathers can give their time to provide transportation, help maintain Pack equipment, be a Leader, serve on our Pack committees, or serve in some other event leadership role.  Whatever your role might be, our pack needs you to keep operating as a quality unit, so that we can continue to have a Pack worthy of the fine Scouts that it serves.
