"Mandatory Volunteering" in Cub Scouts


Recommended Posts

When I was a Pack CC, and Den Leaders and I were at various recruiting opportunities, I made sure parents read that stuff.

 

I will disagree with ScoutNut at two specific points:

 

Tiger Cubs. There, the options for an Adult Partner not his direct relative are pretty few. He might just have to wait for Wolf year. Is that such a bad thing? I joined Cubbing when I was 8.

 

Council sponsored resident camping: Most of these cases, per National Camp Standards (and reiterated in the G2SS) require a 1/1 environment, usually the childs' parent. If the parent were to be so extreme they wouldn't sign an alternate adult release, well, at that point, the Cub cannot do the camp.

I agree John, I was thinking more in terms of general volunteer service to the Pack/Den as a whole, not following BSA program and BSA policies.

 

If they can/will not follow BSA program and policy that is a whole different thing. Perhaps they then need to rethink joining an organization whose rules and program they can not follow.
