Pack 247 Policies

Our primary goal is to create a positive and nurturing environment for all our Scouts and family members. To ensure this, in accordance with the Guide to Safe Scouting, Pack 247 has established the following policies to address any issues that may arise during Pack events.

Pack 247 Code of Conduct

Overview and Scout / Adult Leader Behavior Expectations:

We have high expectations for our Scouts and Adult Leaders as they demonstrate integrity, honesty, and character in all walks of life. At the same time, however, we recognize that both Scouts and Adult Leaders may at times demonstrate behaviors that call for corrective action. Our goal is not to punish or expel a Scout or Adult Leader, but rather to address inappropriate behavior and reinforce the aims of Scouting.

Behaviors Requiring Corrective Action

  1. Using profane language and/or gestures.
  2. Fighting, hitting (horseplay), hazing and/or taunting others, endangering others and/or oneself.
  3. Refusal to follow instruction issued via Pack leadership.
  4. Disruptive behavior during Scout meetings and/or other situations requiring attentiveness.
  5. Dishonesty.
  6. Intentional, reckless, and/or negligent destruction of property (church, school, public facilities, etc.) and/or the environment.

Corrective Actions

For inappropriate behaviors, Pack 247’s response will include one or more of the following Corrective Actions – depending on the severity and frequency of the violation(s).

  1. Discussion of the violation and its consequences. Follow-up discussions with Adult Leaders and/or parents will be scheduled as necessary.
  2. Separation from the activity. Additionally, parents may be called to pick up the Scout, regardless of the location.
  3. Requiring Parent or Guardian to remain at any Scout activity to monitor and ensure Scout’s good behavior.
  4. Exclusion from the next Scouting activity.
  5. Expulsion from the Pack.

Reporting and Assistance:

All parents are encouraged to help the volunteer Scout Leaders in maintaining a safe and respectful environment. If you witness any inappropriate behavior, please do not hesitate to speak up and report it to the Scout Leaders. We value the partnership between parents and Scout Leaders in ensuring the well-being and development of all our Scouts.

Agreement

We affirm our commitment to the Pack 247 Code of Conduct and our willingness to accept and support Corrective Actions taken in the event of inappropriate behavior.

Parent / Guardian Promise

As a parent or guardian of a Cub Scout:

I understand that Pack 247 is an all-volunteer group and that each year I may be required to volunteer in some capacity. Potential positions include: Den Leader, Assistant Den Leader, member of the Pack Committee, individual event or campout coordinator, or other role as requested by the Cubmaster. View the full list of what it takes to run the Pack here:

I acknowledge Scout events and activities are funded by my family’s registration fees AND a combination of event fees and fundraising activities. I will encourage and support my Scout in the fundraising activities that allow the Pack to operate during the year.

I understand that I have an important role in helping guide my Scout through the Cub Scout program and will support them throughout the program.
