Volunteer and
Be Part of the Adventure
Cub Scouting is a family-centered program, and it thrives because of the dedication of parent volunteers like you! Whether you can help a little or a lot, there’s a role for everyone.
Why Volunteer?
Scouting is about creating amazing experiences for kids—and that happens because of adult leaders and helpers who step up. Volunteering is a great way to:
- Spend quality time with your child and their friends.
- Help shape young minds through outdoor adventures, leadership, and teamwork.
- Build lasting friendships with other Scouting families.
- Learn new skills while making a meaningful impact.

Keeping Scouts Safe:
Youth Protection Training (YPT)
YPT is required for all volunteers before working with Scouts and must be renewed every two years. It’s an online course that covers the BSA’s Barriers to Abuse, appropriate adult–Scout interactions, and how to recognize & report concerns.
