Pack Administration

Chartering Organization

Pack 97 is chartered by Christ Community Church.  Pack 97 exists at the sole discretion of our chartering organization.  Although chartered by Christ Community Church, members of Pack 97 are not required to be members of  Christ Community Church.

Pack & Den Structure

The Pack is the combined group of all cub scouts within the chartered organization. The Pack is broken up into Dens by age and/or grade. Packs are led by the Cubmaster and the Assistant Cubmaster(s), who are ultimately responsible for the Cub Scouting program of the pack. The Pack Committee Chairperson oversees administrative requirements of the Pack, such as various sub-committees and event planning.

Dens are broken up by age/grade in school, usually into groups of approximately 8 boys when possible. Multiple dens make up the Pack. There may be more than one den within a given age group. Each den will have one Den Leader and a minimum of one or more Asst. Den Leaders or parents.

In accordance with BSA "Two Deep Leadership" policy, if there are not two adults available to attend the Den meeting, the Den Meeting will be cancelled.

Tiger: Boys age 6 or having been promoted to first grade. The Tiger den requires shared leadership with parents and at least one parent/adult partner must participate in all meetings and activities with each boy. Meetings generally include a pack meeting, 2 den meetings and a, “go see it” (a.k.a., field trip) each month.
