What is the time commitment? Most dens meet three times a month and set their own meeting times (Historically Fridays at 7pm). A monthly outing is encouraged and often part of your requirements. Every grade level is a different rank/den. We have a total of 6 dens. A Pack meeting is an extra monthly meeting where all the dens come together to share what we have been working on and to receive their awards, share, and spend time with other dens. Pack meetings are held typically in the hall at First United Methodist Church Located at 918 N Euclid Ave, Ontario, CA 91764.

Volunteer & Leadership Expectations:
Boy Scouts of America is a non-profit organization that runs successfully on the volunteerism of our parents. The leaders of Pack 306 are all parents and volunteers that dedicate their time and energy to running a well-organized and fun-filled pack. Most leaders spend about 1 -2 years in a leadership role. We highly encourage parents to volunteering in a leadership role at least once throughout their time with the pack. Leadership roles include: Committee Chair, Membership, Treasure, Secretary, Cubmaster, Assistant Cubmaster, Advancement Coordinator, Den Leaders and more!
Steps to becoming a leader
1. Talk to a current leader (Cubmaster, Committee Chair, Den Leader) about your willingness to help A. How much time you would like to dedicate weekly? B. Which role would best fit your talents? C. Which role would best fit your comfort level?
We look forward to a fun and successful scouting year!
Thank you for allowing us to be your home in scouting.
