Leadership in a Cub Scout Pack comes in many forms, and every contribution matters. Whether you're cheering from the sidelines or helping your Scout follow the Path of Akela, families are always welcome and encouraged to be part of the journey.

But why stop there?

By becoming an Adult Leader with Scouting America, you gain the opportunity to shape a dynamic, evolving program. You’ll lead, teach, and inspire in ways that reflect your unique strengths—making a difference not just for your Scout, but for the entire Pack.
