Code of Conduct


Pack 825 has established the following Code of Conduct to help ensure a common language and understanding of behavioral expectations and consequences. This allows us to create an atmosphere conducive to fun, safety, and the values of Scouting.

Cub Scouts, Den Leaders, parents, and other adult leaders are expected to “do your best” and follow the Scout Oath and the Scout Law.

 Cub Scouts

  • Respect one another. Keep your hands and feet to yourself.
  • Wear a clean, neat, complete uniform to pack meetings and Scouting events when requested.
  • Demonstrate respect for all adults in authority.
  • Pay attention, and in response to “signs up,” silently return the sign, stop talking, and listen.
  • Scouts must use the “Buddy System” on all den and pack activities while not with the group.
  • Scouts are NOT permitted to carry or use a knife during any pack event. Bear and Webelos Scouts are only permitted to use a pocket knife during den events and only under the continuous supervision of an adult. They must have a “Whittling Chip” card in possession.
  • Show respect for your surroundings, indoors and out, leaving them as good or in better condition than when they were found.

 Parents

  • Assist your child in learning the Pack 825 Code of Conduct.
  • Work with den and pack leaders as requested to ensure all children follow this code.
  • Act as role models, demonstrating proper behaviors, language, and attentiveness to your child.
  • Pay attention and silently return the sign in response to a den or pack leader's “signs up” signal.
  • Cub Scouting is based on parent (or guardian) and child participation. Pack 825 requires a parent or an adult family member to accompany the Scout to all pack and den activities.
  • Parents are responsible for their children's conduct during pack and den activities. Children may not roam during or outside the meeting without adult/parent supervision.

General Rules

  • All scouts, parents, and leaders must follow the BSA Guide to Safe Scouting.
  • Pets, firearms, fireworks, drugs, smoking, or alcoholic beverages are not allowed on Cub Scout outings.
  • Youth Protection Guidelines must be observed at all times.
  • There will be no use of cursing, foul language, excessively rowdy, unruly, loud, disrespectful, disobedient, or disruptive behavior.
