Pack Committee Members: |
THE PACK COMMITTEE
Every pack is under the supervision of a pack
committee. This committee consists of a minimum of three members, each
of whom meets these requirements: If residing in this country but not a
citizen of the United States, agrees to abide by the Scout Oath and Law,
to respect and obey the laws of the United States of America, and to
subscribe to the BSA statement of religious principle. Is of good
character, is 21 years of age or older, is selected by the chartered
organization, and is registered as an adult leader of the BSA. One of
these is designated as pack committee chair.
Obviously, with a committee of three, members must
assume responsibility for more areas of service than with a committee of
seven or more, where the responsibilities can be divided among the
members. Although packs can and do operate with a minimum of three
committee members, experience has shown that a larger committee
generally ensures a stronger, more stable pack and is better able to
perform all the required functions to ensure a successful pack program.
It is also a way of involving more pack families in meaningful service
to the pack.
These pages contain the roles and responsibilities of
each of the necessary Pack Committee functions. |
