Introduction

Our parent den leader volunteers donate their time and talent to ensure a quality program for our Scouts. All adult leaders are first required to take Youth Protection Training offered by Scouts BSA. The Diocese of Arlington Office of Child & Youth Protection also conducts a background check, and requires VIRTUS training.

Once a volunteer completes these two comprehensive checkpoints, position specific training is offered. Then, the Pack Committee confirms the volunteer in their position. Child safety is our number one priority, followed by adventure!

To make Cub Scouting work it takes a team made up of each Cub Scout’s parent or guardian and other caring adults who agree to take on roles that best fit their individual talents. Together this team makes up the Pack Committee.

Patrick's wife Kim is a first grade teacher at the Basilica School of St. Mary. A former airline pilot, he now works for the Federal Aviation Administration as an Air Accident Investigator.
