We just formed a new Pack, and agreed that By-Laws would be a good outline of how the Pack should be run so we can easily show new members what we do.
It's a fairly short document about how the committee and leaders are chosen, what qualifications are required (i.e., trained!), minimum expected standards (number of den meetings, field trip rules, etc.). Because it is a new pack, I've had to do a lot of education about how Cub Scouts delivers the program, and I found that leading the committee through a by-laws adoption process got them to thinking about how the the Pack should operate.
