Welcome To Pack 306!

Pack 306 is one of the oldest Cub Scout Packs in ontario celebrating over 50 years of scouting! We are chartered through First United Methodist Church. You and your cub(s) are starting on a wonderful, fun-filled adventure building leadership, friendships, and confidence!

All dens belong to Pack 306.

Here are the most common FAQs:

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.

We also participate in quarterly service and conservation projects such as Recycling, Scouting for Food, and Christmas Adopt-a-Family.

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.

Welcome to our family from the entire leadership team of Pack 306

Parent Responsibilities To continue the success of Cub Scout Pack 306, parent involvement is expected. As a Cub Scout Parent, you agree to the following:

Understand the requirements for your child’s rank advancement and assist them in fulfilling these requirements; Help record their achievements in their den handbook; Make sure that they bring their book to each Den meeting.

Assure that your scout has a “Class A” uniform and that they dress appropriately for all scout functions.

Notify your child’s Den Leader whenever your child participates in a scout activity that is not sponsored by the Pack (example: Cub Scout Day Camp), so that they will receive proper credit and rank advancement.

Understand the expectations of your child’s Den Leader and participate in den activities; Notify your child’s Den Leader whenever your son will be absent or late for a meeting.

Understand the expectations of the monthly Pack Meetings: limited cell phone use, managing your scouts’ behavior, participating in the Pack activity and rank advancements; Help set-up and/or clean-up at the Pack Meetings.

Volunteer to help the Pack as a committee leader or an assistant committee leader. A Scout is Helpful! Volunteer to oversee, co-lead, or organize a one-time activity, such as, banquets, fundraisers, derby races, field trips, campouts, etc.

Support the Pack’s financial goals by understanding the Pack budget and participating in fundraising activities. If personal commitments prevent you from sharing your time with the Pack, work with your den leader for alternatives.
