Pack 17 Volunteer Leaders

Pack 17 is powered by parent volunteers.

Our volunteer leaders work together to create a fun, safe and well-organized Scouting program for our Scouts and families. Some roles are highly visible and others happen behind the scenes, but all of them help make the Pack go.

There's Room for You

You don't need years of Scouting experience to help Pack 17. Most of our volunteers started simply because they saw something they could help with.

Communications & Records Coordinator — OPEN
We're looking for someone to help keep the Pack organized and parents informed. This role would take brief notes at our monthly committee meetings, help keep the Pack website current and assist with occasional Pack communications.

Advancement Chair — VOLUNTEER NEEDED
We’re looking for someone to take over this important behind-the-scenes role. It’s a great way to get involved with the Pack and help celebrate our Scouts’ achievements.

Additional Committee Members — Always Welcome
Have a skill, interest or idea that could help the Pack? We'd love to have you. There are plenty of ways to contribute without taking on a major leadership role.

Interested in helping? Talk with any of the leaders above or join us at a Pack Committee meeting or email committee@pack17scouting.org. All Pack 17 parents are welcome.
