Charter Partner Rules

Every Cub Scout pack has a charter partner, the organization that sponsors the pack. The Jewish Federation of Greater Metrowest is the chartering organization for Cub Scout Pack 118, West Orange, NJ, in the Lenape Trails District of the Northern New Jersey Council, Boy Scouts of America.

The Federation has the following expectations of all Cub Scouts and Adults:

1. All Pack, Den and individual Scouting activities will be conducted in compliance with acceptable Shabbat activities as defined by the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. This includes participation and travel to and from all Scouting activities.
2. All Pack, Den and individual Scouting activities will be conducted in compliance with acceptable Kashrut standards as defined by the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. This includes food purchased or consumed while traveling to activities and during the activities.
3. All male participants, and any female participants who would normally wear a head covering, must wear either a hat or kipah whenever involved in Scouting activities.
4. It is to be understood that any person wearing a Cub Scout uniform with the Pack number, 118, is a defacto representative of the unit and is thereby expected to behave in a manner consistent with the operating principles expressed here.
