The Cubmaster is responsible for the pack program and has assistants. The pack committee is lead by a chairman and is responsible for administrative support.
Each den has a den leader and assistant and may have help from a den chief who is a Boy Scout or Venturer.
The Cubmaster may also be known as Akela, a tradition borrowed from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book.
The adult leader of a Cub Scout pack would be a Cub Master, who would be assisted by Assistant Cub Masters.
Cub Scouting is for boys in the first through fifth grades, or 7 to 10 years of age. Boys who are older than 10, or who have completed the fifth grade, can no longer join Cub Scouting, but they may be eligible to join the Boy Scouting or Venturing program.
A cub is not an adult, that's what CUB means!

There are several key positions in Cub Scouting. The Cubmaster and Committee Chair are the top two key leadership and make decisions jointly to help the Pack run smoothly. The Cubmaster oversees the Den Leaders ensures the advancement program stays on course. The Committee Chair ensures the Pack is in compliance with the local by-laws, communicates with the local Council, and they also ensure the other key positions are filled by active volunteers.

There are various positions within Cub Scouting, but I'll assume you mean Cubmaster, who serves as the leader of the Pack. The Cubmaster works along side the Commitee Chair to organize, plan, and execute all the functions of the Pack. This include Pack Meetings, campouts, day activities, etc. He (or she in many cases) also works with his Den Leaders, who are essentially his liutenents in the Pack. His other responsibilties include attending District Roundtable meetings, MCing Pack meetings, setting an example for the Scouts, and living the Cub Scout Law and Oath in his daily life. Hope this helps :).
Akela is the alpha wolf of the Seeonee wolf pack in Rudyard Kiplings "The Jungle Book". Kipling gave Baden Powell permission to use the names of his characters for Scouting.
Yes. It is common for the same person to play more than one role in a pack. It is, however, preferable to get as many different adults leaders involved in as many different roles as possible. This is especially so for the more labor intense positions such as den leader, cub master and comittee chair.
The Cub Scout motto is Do Your Best. The Boy Scout motto is Be Prepared.
