Rules and Regulations

Attendance
In order to get the most out of the Cub Scouts experience, an attendance policy has been set. Attendance for each Cub Scout will be closely monitored by leaders, and lack of attendance and participation may result in dismissal from the Pack. Cub Scouts are expected to meet AT LEAST 80% of annual attendance for all Pack activities.

Absences

3 Tardies = 1 Absence
3 Absences = the Cub Scout will not be promoted to the next rank, nor will he get any patch or award.

Tardies
Cub Scouts have a 10-minute grace period from the time a meeting or activity begins in which they may arrive. If arrival will be late, please inform a leader at least 30 minutes in advance. Please do not call at the last minute; leaders are often busy getting the meeting started.

Communication

No announcements about Pack meetings or events in Jamat Khana; communication is always done via email or WhatsApp
Cub Scouts and Parents are responsible for providing updated email addresses or resolving any email issues ahead of time. They are also responsible for checking their emails and WhatsApp messages up to 12 hours before an event or a meeting.
Our emails are sent via digitally signed service and shouldn’t land in your email’s SPAM box, unless you explicitly mark them as such.
Our Pack’s calendar and Events Page are regularly updated; please visit often to make sure you are not missing any event or updates
As a general guideline (with some exceptions), we try to send out emails or WhatsApp messages for any upcoming Event (usually on Sundays) by Wednesdays.
Any emails send to the pack (at admin@pack758.com), will be answered within 72 hours; although we strive to respond earlier, that may not be the case every time you send an email.
Last minutes schedule changes do occur, so please check your email and WhatsApp messages regularly.

Uniform
It is imperative that the proper uniform is worn in order to represent Cub Scouts in a professional and appropriate manner. Uniforms are to be worn at meetings, activities, and service events unless otherwise specified by the leader. A full uniform includes all required articles of clothing, including but not limited to: Shirt, Pants, Scarf, Slide, Belt, Socks, Shoes, etc. All badges should be sewn in proper places. The basic rule is neatness. ANY uniform issue will result in all of the following

First offense – Written warning will be issued
Second offense – Parents will receive a phone call
Cub Scouts may be sent home from the event/meeting.

Continued uniform issues will result in probation and subsequent dismissal from Cub Scout.

Transportation
Transportation will not be provided by the Cub Scouts. Parents will be responsible to arrange their own car pools and rides to any event, meeting, etc.

Respect
Respect each individual you interact within Cub Scouts. This includes:

Everyone in your Pack.
Cub master and Assistant Cub master.
Den Leaders and Assistant Den Leaders.

Showing disrespect to ANY individual in your pack will result in an immediate contact with a parent and a possible probation. Behavior/Discipline

Cub Scouts are role models to all other Packs, as well as others in Jamat Khana.
Cubs should be on their best behavior at all times, especially when wearing their uniform.
Any misbehavior will be discussed individually with the leader, and appropriate action will be taken if needed. This is solely on the discretion of the leaders.

Role of Parents/Parents Behavior
Parents are expected at all times to show respect toward any uniformed leader, member of Cub Scouts Management, and members of the Chartered Organization (AKYSB)

This is the proper channel of voicing concerns about a Cub Scouts pack.

Den Leader -> Asst. Cubmaster -> Cubmaster -> Pack Committee -> Board Link -> BSO

If any issues occur, please contact the above individuals via EMAIL. Parents are expected to set an example for all Cub Scouts and refrain from discussing “gossip” or complaints.

Parental Involvement
We encourage and welcome all parent volunteers. Our Pack and individual dens can only survive with the helping hands of our parents. If you’re new to Cub Scouts, it’s great to start off by helping out with your Den! As you learn the ropes, you can help out in other areas as well.
Note: Each parent is expected to dedicate at least 3 hours of voluntary service toward any Pack event.
