The leaders of Cub Scout Pack 170 have more than 100 years of cummulative experience as both Scouts and Scouters in a variety of programs offered by the Boy Scouts of America. While some of our leaders also volunteer at the council and / or district level, we are dedicated to delivering the best program possible for the Scouts of Pack 170 as our first priority.

More than 90% of our leaders have completed the required training for their role (the other 10% are working on it) and many of them have earned BSA training knots for their role. Some of our leaders have been recognized at the district level including Northern Star, Silver Squirrel, and the District Award of Merit, the highest award that a district can bestow, and some have / are pursuing advanced training such as Wood Badge. These are a testament to the dedication we have for our Scouts.

Baden-Powell created a leadership course built on the “patrol method” to teach by doing. Participants of the course have a tartan neckerchief with Troop 1 and the Wood Badge (beads) when all requirements are complete.

The Religious Emblems program provides for 2 knots, the first is earned as a youth and the second as an adult. Either may be worn on the adult uniform.

The pack committee consists of at least three members (chair, secretary, and treasurer) and handles administrative and support tasks so pack and den leaders can focus on working directly with the Cub Scouts.

The Pack leaders are responsible for planning and conducting the Pack program. 

The Technology Team is responsible for managing the technology assets of the pack and advising the Pack committee on technology adoption. They also assist Pack members with technology questions as they are able.

Den leaders carry out the activities related to adventures as they are presented in the Cub Scout’s handbook and the Den Leader Guide.
