Every Cub Scout pack, Boy Scout troop, Varsity Scout team, and Venturing crew belongs to an organization with interests similar to those of the BSA. This organization, which might be a church, school, community organization, or group of interested citizens, receives a charter from the BSA to use the Scouting program. This chartered organization provides a suitable meeting place, adult leadership, supervision, and opportunities for a healthy Scouting life for the boys under its care.

The Chartered Organization helps the pack by

- Appointing a pack committee

- Providing adequate and safe facilities for the monthly pack meeting

- Selecting a chartered organization representative to serve as liaison with the pack

- Providing the Scouting program as an integral part of its program for youth and families

- Providing opportunities for boys to recognize responsibility to God, to country, to other people, and to self

- Ensuring that the Scouting program is conducted according to the policies and regulations of the organization and the Boy Scouts of America

- Cooperating with the council in fund-raising through Friends of Scouting (FOS) and the United Way so the Scouting program can operate

The chartered organization representative is the direct contact between the pack and the chartered organization. This individual is also the organization's contact with the district committee and the local council. The chartered organization representative may become a member of the district committee and is a voting member of the council. If the chartered organization has more than one unit, one representative serves them all.

Qualifications: Is at least 21 years old, subscribes to the Declaration of Religious Principle, and agrees to abide by the Scout Oath or Promise and the Scout Law. Possesses the moral, educational, and emotional qualities that the Boy Scouts of America deems necessary to afford positive leadership to youth. Is a member of the chartered organization other than the unit leader or assistant unit leader. Is appointed by the chartered organization to serve as its official Scouting representative and is registered as an adult leader of the BSA.

Responsibilities: The Chartered Organization Representative's responsibilities are to

- Help select the right leadership for the unit.

- Encourage unit leaders and committee members to take training.

- Promote well-planned unit programs.

- Serve as a liaison between the units and the organization.

- Organize enough units.

- Promote the recruiting of new members.

- See that boys transition from unit to unit.

- Help with the charter renewal.

- Suggest Good Turns for the organization.

- Encourage the unit committee to hold meetings.

- Cultivate organization leaders.

- Emphasize advancement and recognition.

- Utilize district help and promote the use of district personnel and materials.

- Use approved unit finance policies.

- Encourage recognition of leaders.

- Cultivate resources to support the organization.

- Represent the organization at the council level.

Every pack is under the supervision of a pack committee. This committee consists of a minimum of three members.

Qualifications: Is at least 21 years old, subscribes to the Declaration of Religious Principle, and agrees to abide by the Scout Oath or Promise and the Scout Law. Possesses the moral, educational, and emotional qualities that the Boy Scouts of America deems necessary to afford positive leadership to youth. Is selected by the chartered organization, and is registered as an adult leader of the BSA. One of these members is designated as pack committee chair.

Obviously, with a committee of three, members must assume responsibility for more areas of service than with a committee of seven or more, where the responsibilities can be divided among the members. Although packs can and do operate with a minimum of three committee members, experience has shown that a larger committee generally ensures a stronger, more stable pack and is better able to perform all the required functions to ensure a successful pack program. It is also a way of involving more pack families in meaningful service to the pack.

Responsibilities: Regardless of the size of the pack committee, these responsibilities must be performed:

- Cooperate with other Scouting units.

- Supervise finances and equipment.

- Work closely with the Cubmaster.

- Help with pack charter renewal.

- Provide adequate and safe facilities for pack meetings.

- Help stimulate the interest of adult family members through proper programming.

- Conduct, with the help of the Cubmaster, periodic training for parents and guardians.

- Coordinate the pack's program and the chartered organization's program through the chartered organization representative.

- Ensure that all Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts receive a year-round, quality program.

- Recruit the Cubmaster and one or more assistant Cubmasters, with the chartered organization's approval.

- Make recommendations to the chartered organization for final approval of pack leadership.

- Complete pack committee Fast Start Training and Basic Leader Training for the position.

A strong pack committee will have individual members assigned to such areas as record keeping and correspondence, finances, advancement, training, public relations, and membership and re-registration. The pack committee chair decides how the responsibilities should be divided and gives committee members assignments.
