It is not easy for Leaders to decide who is to be a Sixer or Second. Leaders often look for Cub Scouts who show these qualities to fill the Pack Council positions...

Expectations of a Second...

Not all Seconds end up becoming Sixers however every Second should assist their Sixer and learn their jobs. If a Sixer is away their Second is expected to act in their Sixer's place. This way they will be prepared if they become a Sixer one day.

Pack Council is a meeting of the Sixers, Seconds and the Leaders held approximately once per term. The meeting is chaired by the Cub Scout Leader and agenda items can include...

• Opening - short prayer by a Sixer
• Leaders providing information on future and proposed activities
• Reports from each Six
• Leaders input on Pack issues
• Cub Scouts are encouraged to make suggesions for games, activities, outings, camps etc.
• Feedback from the Pack via the Sixers regarding activities, games, visits, etc.
• Suggestions for future activities
• Encouragement of Sixers and Seconds for setting high standards within the Pack
• Trial run of new games, activities or songs
• A personal development activity
• Discussion on ethical issues, leadership problems, case studies
• Problem Solving
• Training of Sixers and Seconds in ceremonies, more advanced badgework or Scouting skills
• Entertainment and eats

When a Cub Scout is appointed to the Pack Council they are given a booklet that outlines their role and duties.
