Volunteering
Scouts and Parents
We never want to forget to thank ALL of our Scouting families for all that you do to make the Pack 323 program the best program in the Heart of America Council.
We Need Your Help!
It takes a large and committed group of volunteers to make our program work well and be a good environment for all our scout families. This is where we need you; the more parents that get involved, the less overworked our other leaders will be!
From Den leaders and assistants, committee members, to leaders for various events throughout the year, we need people to help in many areas both behind the scenes and in front of our scouts. This is something that does NOT require anyone with any scouting experience– maybe you are very organized and can help lead an event– maybe something you do in your job or as a hobby would make for an interesting talk with some of the scouts.
We encourage you to talk to the leaders, from the Cubmaster to the Committee Chairperson to the Den leaders– find out what you can do to contribute to where our program goes tomorrow!
Leadership Roster
We have made up a roster with names and contact information for all our Pack and Den leaders. For privacy issues we did not want to post this online– please contact us and we can provide this information to you.
Getting Involved
We strongly encourage you to submit the volunteer form. Please note that by filling out the form is not a commitment, but rather helps the existing leadership team identify where your interests align with the pack needs. Some events, like the pinewood derby, will also need ad-hoc volunteers to help with setup, cleanup, and so on to help it run smoothly. Information about those needs will be communicated as needed. Be sure to check out the bottom of this page for more information about each of the positions.
