Teaching & Modeling Service

Service is not an add-on to the Scouting program. It is woven into the fabric of everything we do.

A Scout is helpful.
A Scout is kind.
A Scout leaves things better than they found them.

These are not just words for children. They are a standard for all of us — leaders, parents, and community members alike. When you volunteer with Pack 972, you are living those words out loud in front of the next generation.

That kind of modeling is irreplaceable. No amount of talking about service can match the image of a parent who serves.

🙋 What We Ask of Every Pack 972 Family
Pack 972 does not require a specific number of volunteer hours from every family. But we do ask that every family participates in the life of the pack throughout the year. So we've built an expectation of family service into each Den experience.

Each year, Den families take the lead and coordinate these specific Pack events:

🦁 Lions: Spring Campout
🐯 Tigers: Fall Campout
🐺 Wolves: Pinewood Derby Event
🐻Bears: Candy Bar & Meat Stick Fundraiser
⚜️ Webelos: Award Ceremonies and Banquets
🏹 Arrow of Light: Service Projects
