The Design Problem
The problem with AI-generated copy isn't that the model writes badly. It's that it writes generically. It knows Cub Scouting in general and nothing about your pack. And families notice: over half of consumers report feeling less engaged with content they suspect is AI-generated1.
The answer is the pack's own knowledge: the things only the pack knows about its families and what each new family tends to need. That knowledge lives in volunteers' heads, almost never written down. When a Cubmaster steps down, most of it leaves with them.
So we need one place where that knowledge can be captured and edited, in plain language, by the people who already hold it. We call that place Pack Memory: the pack's institutional memory, finally written down.

N = 2,000 UK and US general consumer panel; respondents shown matched articles by a copywriter and ChatGPT. 52% reported feeling less engaged with content they suspected or knew was AI-generated. Cited here as directional evidence of consumer AI-detection sensitivity, not as a precise estimate for parent-facing pack communications. Bynder ↩
