Public Leadership - Cub Scout Pack 975 (Frisco, Texas)

The Scouting program is designed in such a way that parent volunteers generally advance with their son through the ranks. Therefore, we are always in need of new leadership as each year we loose parents that advance to the Boy Scout program.

Training & support is available for all. There are a number of Boy Scout of America designed training seminars provided by BSA. We also have experienced leaders in our pack which happily mentor other new leaders.
