Pack Committee

The Pack Committee is the leadership of the Pack. Without these volunteers, the Pack would not be able to operate. While this list looks long, we always have room for more volunteers! If you would like to help the Committee in any way, whether making a commitment for a year or maybe just helping out with one event, please let us know!
