Assistant Cubmaster

Every pack should have at least one assistant Cubmaster. In most packs, two or three will be helpful, allowing the Cubmaster to divide responsibilities.

Qualifications:

Possesses the moral, educational, and emotional qualities that the Boy Scouts of America deems necessary to afford positive leadership to youth. At least one assistant Cubmaster should be able to replace the Cubmaster's position in case of an emergency.
