Overview
The Cubmaster is ultimately responsible
for Pack programming and implementation, supported by the
Pack Committee, which is responsible for resources and
preparation. He or she is the key "direct contact" leader,
master of ceremonies, and heads up (with support from and
delegation to) all events and activities involving Pack 5
youth. Job one is safety. It is his or her responsibility to
be familiar with all BSA policies and procedures, and to
make sure they are followed.
The Cubmaster is also the "face" of Pack 5
to the public and potential new recruits.
Many different personality types have
successfully served Pack 5 as Cubmaster; all have made
positive contributions to the program, and the key to
success is leveraging your own skills and knowing who you
can depend on in a pinch. One common denominator is that the
Cubmaster must respect and work well with a group of boys
who span quite a range of maturity, interests, and abilities
— from those just out of Kindergarten to
those entering sixth grade.
Pack Meeting Agenda
Although Pack 5 does have a "typical"
sequence of events for Pack Meeting agendas, an ongoing
evolution toward more "signature events and outings" in the
structure has meant a degree of variability. There is also
topical content that means a different sort of approach
depending on the month. Following is a sampling from past
agendas for reference (password protected, see Cubmaster or
Pack Committee Chair for access).
