Richfield Cub Scout Pack 157 Newsletter – APRIL 2024

Hello Scout Families! Spring is FINALLY here…

Hopefully, your families have been able to enjoy the nice days that have been scattered amongst the rain and snow storms.

Let’s hope that we have a nice day for PINEWOOD DERBY coming up at the end of the month!

In this newsletter we will cover: VOLUNTEERING, Pinewood Derby, River Rats, and Pack picnic

Desperate need of Committee Chair!

With Paul crossing over with his son Aiden in February, this has left our pack with a mandatory position unfilled. The BSA has a minimum amount of Parent committee positions that need to be filled for each pack and our new charter organization would like an update on who this would be.

 

High Level List of Duties:

  • Ensures enough qualitied adult volunteers are in place
  • Provides leadership and direction to the pack
  • Presides at parent committee meetings to make them efficient
  • Ensures completion of Pack Re-charter with the BSA
  • Registers the pack for River Rats
  • Manages pack email
  • Makes announcements to the pack if needed
  • Updates Pack newsletter and Webpage (These two are temporary duties until we can find a webmaster volunteer)

We are also looking for Webmaster and Fundraising chairs. if you feel you may be interested in any of these positions please email the pack or speak with our Cubmaster.
