The following roles are required for the successful execution of Pack 55.  Each of these roles has online or in-person training classes provided by BSA, along with great guidance and support from those who have handled them before.

All roles can be shared—a group of 2 or 3 people.

Some roles are fully open and will impact activities if we cannot fill them.  Other roles have someone serving but will be transitioning from Pack55 in the near future—now is a great time to learn the role participating with the current volunteer.
