You, Me, Everyone = Pack 49
Parent : Leader : Akela
Pack 49 is dependent on leaders to manage the pack, coordinate the Den Meetings activities. Without Parent Leaders, in and out of the Scout Uniform, the great Pack 49 experience won't happen.
Every leader in Pack 49 is a non-paid volunteer....
Leaders believe in what Scouting can do for your child & Family.
"For over a century, the BSA has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes — and, through over a century of experience, knows — that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society" - Scouting.org

BSA Health/Medical Form (Part A & B) - REQUIRED for Camping
For any overnight camping trip your scout takes, you will need to completely fill out the BSA Health/Medical Form Parts A & B and turn it in along with a front AND back copy of your child's health insurance card. The health form is good ONE year from the date it is filled out and signed. We recommend you make a copy of it for yourself before you turn it in to us.
