Welcome Letter from the Cub Master

Welcome to Scouting
from Bentley Boyd • CubMaster 103 • September 2006

 
 


Pack 103 is the oldest Cub Scout pack in Williamsburg: it was first chartered Sept. 9, 1942, by Matthew Whaley School next to the Colonial Williamsburg Historic Area.
It is now sponsored by the Williamsburg United Methodist Church (WUMC), which supports our active work to build character through outdoor activities and age-appropriate skills practice. 

This website will give you an overview of Pack 103's leadership roster, activities, uniform guidelines and code of conduct. We hope you will be inspired to join us!

My name is Bentley Boyd, and I have been a leader at Pack 103 for eight years - I've seen Scouts pet sharks, run the bases after a Richmond Braves ballgame, play glow-in-the-dark kickball and collect food for the needy. I now serve as Cubmaster - the leader who oversees the Scouts during Pack meetings and leads songs and activities.
Cubmaster Bentley Boyd has been a leader at Pack 103 since 1999. 
He earned his Eagle Award in 1985.
Erin Gray is our Committee Chairman, and she manages the parent volunteers who make Pack 103 go. The Pack's success in moving boys toward their Arrow of Light badge and on to Boy Scouts is a result of parental involvement. Each parent is asked to help run one of our major annual events (Pinewood Derby, Blue and Gold Banquet, camping trip, Christmas party, etc.). You don't have to wear the tan shirt, but please introduce yourself to Erin at a Pack function and find a comfortable level of involvement!

Each Pack is also divided into Dens of about 8 to 10 boys all at the same age level. Boys progress from Tiger to Wolf to Bear to Webelo dens. At Den meetings they work on specific achievements, but to complete the Scouting program your Scout will need to work with you on a regular basis at home. Your help during Den meetings and at home will be vital to your son's progress.

Please take the time to read your son's Scout manual and to ask your son's Den leader how you can help. We have a unique and exciting calendar of events at Pack 103. We hope you'll join us.

If you have any questions about Pack 103 or Scouting in general, please call me or anyone listed on the leadership page.
