All of these positions are "once-a-year" positions.  The time committed varies from 1 to several hours.  There are parents and other leaders in the Pack that have volunteered for these events in the past and they would make wonderful resources for information and ideas.  You WILL NOT be left alone to struggle through an event.  We have a very supportive network of leaders and parents that are willing to assist when asked!

Each year we lose some of our experienced leadership as the next group of Webelos II graduates into Boy Scouts.  Often times, very committed parents and leaders leave as well.  We would like to keep Pack 104 a strong and great place to be a Cub Scout, but we can't do it without our dedicated parents.  Let’s continue the legacy that other parents have left for us through the past 40+ years that our Pack has been around.  With approximately 29 "jobs" each year and 15-20 families, stepping up for a single activity makes a HUGE difference and sets a positive example for our boys.
