Our Pack is only as strong as our parent and adult participation as we are entirely run by parent volunteers!
We are always looking for volunteers no matter how small or large the time commitment. There are a wide variety of volunteer opportunities available so you are sure to find something that aligns with your interest, talents and time.
Below are some of the volunteer opportunities. Please email minnetonkapack460@gmail.com if you are interested in helping.
