Therefore, all Scouts, Parents, and Adult Leaders are asked to obey this Code of Conduct as a condition for participation.

We recognize that for boys to grow to responsible men, they need to be held accountable for their actions. Any Scout who intentionally participates in an activity that has the potential to harm himself or Pack members, or behaves in a manner that reflects negatively upon Pack 2012 will be disciplined. Discipline at scout meetings will be at the discretion of the unit leader in accordance with the following guidelines:
• Failure to obey a rule will result in a warning, followed by time out or removal from an activity.
• In cases of harmful or repetitive misbehavior, parents may be asked to remove their Scout.
• Unit leaders have the right to exclude a Scout from their meetings for reasons of conduct. The situation will be reviewed by the Pack Committee and, in extreme cases, and after consultation with the Council; a boy
may be dismissed from the Pack for misconduct.
Each Scout is to be responsible for their own behavior, and only when necessary will parents be asked to intervene or the procedure be invoked to send a Scout home from their Pack activity.
We recognize that as a participant, we, through our actions, represent Pack 2012, the Henry L. Mayfield Elementary (charter organization) and the Boy Scouts of America. We promise to uphold the standards of conduct expected.
