Pack 998 Leadership

Parents and legal guardians of Cub Scouts work together to run the Cub Scout program. Cub Scouting offers excellent support for parents and legal guardians to deliver the program as a team through national online training and resources to local in-person coaching and mentoring.

Pack 998 Leadership:

  • Committee Chair & Quartermaster – Rick Kauffman
  • Cubmaster – Andrew Fernandes
  • Treasurer – Jarrod Hoover
  • Arrow of Light Den Leader – Chad Wells
  • Assistant Webelos Den Leader – Kent Laukuf
  • Bear Den Leader – Alicia Fernandes
  • Wolves Den Leader – Dave Hill
  • Lion Den Leader – Nicole Kauffman

The Pack is always looking for additional Adult Volunteers. Den Leaders will be talking to you about your Den’s Pack activity they will be leading and you can reach out to Rick at pack998committeechair@gmail.com to discuss other available roles. You can also join our monthly Committee Meetings which are the First Friday of the Monday @ 8pm via Zoom.
