64 Point Question
HOW DO WE RATE?
At our next Pack Committee meeting let's ask ourselves where we stand on the fol-
lowing items. If we feel that there is considerable room for improvement we'll shade
in the first square. If on the other hand we're average we'll shade two squares. If good
we'll block in three, and excellent all four. To get our total score for general Pack
operation all we need to do is to count the number of shaded squares. At next month's
committee meeting we can check to measure our progress toward a perfect score of 64.
MEMBERSHIP is recruited according to a plan, new members are registered
promptly. The Pack will reregister on time for its Charter renewal.
LEADERSHIP marshals the talent and willingness of our people. Our Cubmaster has
one or more assistants who can take over Pack leadership.
THE COMMITTEE is active, fully organized, including Den Dads. It meets monthly
with the Cubmaster and Den Mothers to plan Pack and Den meetings.
DEN MOTHERS head each Den, and are aware of the need to develop their own
replacements by training other mothers in Den activity, and administration.
DEN CHIEFS are serving as active, dependable leaders for each Den. The Pack
helps Scoutmasters understand the importance of their appointments.
TRAINING in basic Cub Scouting has been completed by all of our leaders. Den
Chiefs meet regularly with our Cubmaster for planning and training.
ADVANCEMENT is administered on a parent-son level. Boys show a good rate of
advancement. Parents are used in recognition ceremonies.
PROGRAM planning consists of an annual conference, a monthly leaders meeting,
including Den Mothers, and Den Chief-Cubmaster "huddles."
DEN MEETINGS are held each week in a home. They are planned at the joint com-
mittee meeting, and are conducted by the Den Mother and Den Chief.
THE PACK MEETING is a result of Den theme preparation. It contains separate
sessions for parents and Cub Scouts. Parents must and do attend.
PARENTS cooperate and support Den and Pack projects at home. They also accept
assignments on one or more Idea Committees during the year.
GOOD WILL habits are strengthened by encouraging thoughtfulness at home,
school, and play. Dens accept Pack community service projects.
FINANCES, including the regular payment of dues, are supervised by a Pack treas-
urer, in accordance with a plan approved by the parents.
UNIFORMS are neatly worn by Cub Scouts and leaders. Badges, insignia, and
uniforms are inspected by Pack officials twice each year.
ACTIVITIES, including indoor and outdoor affairs and special trips, are all centered
around the monthly themes, which are adopted annually.
GRADUATION of each Cub Scout into a Boy Scout Troop is a part of a definite
plan. Leaders emphasize the importance of the Webelos rank.
