Assistant Cubmaster

The Cubmaster has a big role. Having assistant Cubmasters allows him or her to share responsibilities. Every pack should have at least one assistant Cubmaster, but most packs have two or three and larger Packs may have more.

An assistant Cubmaster’s responsibilities (as designated by the Cubmaster) are to:

• Help the Cubmaster as needed. Be ready to fill in for the Cubmaster, if necessary.

• Complete Cubmaster position-specific training. Attend monthly roundtables

• Participate in pack meetings.

• Supervise den chiefs and see that they are trained.

• Conduct the monthly den chief planning meeting for all den leaders, assistant den leaders, and den chiefs to plan and coordinate weekly den meetings and pack meeting participation.

• Work with neighborhood troops that supply den chiefs and into which Webelos Scouts may graduate.

• Along with the pack committee, develop and promote an ongoing plan for recruiting new Cub Scouts and families.

• Along with the Cubmaster and pack committee, assist with pack reregistration.

• Help with pack activities, such as dinners, derbies, bike safety workshops, and service projects.

• Along with the pack committee, coordinate outings to see that the pack and dens qualify for the National Summertime Pack Award.

• Participate in the annual pack program planning conference and pack leaders’ meetings.

• Support the policies of the BSA.
