Pack Meetings There are four main types of
meetings in Cub Scouts and they all have different schedules and different purposes. These four meetings are Pack Meetings, Den Meetings, Pack Outings, Committee and
Roundtable meetings—the last two are for adults only. Pack Meetings The
biggest meetings are the monthly Pack Meetings where all Scouts
and their families are invited to attend. We have about 59 Scouts
and 17 Adult Leaders in our Pack, so these can get kind of lively
at times, but it’s a whole lot of fun. Pack Meetings are held once a
month during the school year, usually the 4th Tuesday of the month. All Scouts, parents, and siblings of all ages meet in Fellowship Hall FUMC at 7 p.m. and last about
an hour, sometimes more. A Cub Scout should wear his uniform to Den Meetings, Pack Meetings, and all Scout outings. There are several reasons for Pack
Meetings:
Each month we also do activities
such as perform skits, tell jokes, sing songs, and do crafts. Dens take turns performing the flag ceremony, acting as host, and performing a short skit dealing with the
theme of the month. September

Meetings are fun, but it’s too hard to learn anything with so many
boys from different ages in one room. Since Scouting is designed
around activities that are age-appropriate to a boy’s development,
most of the “real” activities are done at the Den level. A Den is
comprised of 6-10 boys of the same grade level who will be in the
same group all the way through Cub Scouts. Right now, we have 6Dens,
but that number changes every year. Den meetings are small gatherings,
usually held once per week for older scouts in 4th & 5th grades, every two weeks for Scouts in younger grade levels. Den meetings are held at flexible times and are
arranged to meet the needs of the Scouts, their parents, and the availability of leaders. Days, times, and meeting places are all decided upon by the parents and Den
Leader. These intimate group meetings can be after school, in the evenings or weekends—whatever works best for the group. They can also be held wherever the parents
decide. Den meetings can be held in a home, a central meeting place (i.e., school, church), or the meetings can sometimes be a field trip like visiting a police
station, fire station, or a wilderness sanctuary. Some of our Den Leaders also
provide a brief newsletter to keep parents informed. If they do, please take a few minutes to read this as it reminds you what activities are coming up and what
materials will be required for the next den meetings, requirements, and deadlines. A Cub Scout should wear his
uniform to Den Meetings, Pack Meetings, and all Scout outings. Pack Outings Pack outings usually occur once
per month at other area locations and are fun events designed to be enjoyable for the whole family. Previous events have include: bowling, ice skating, hikes, Putt Putt Golf, Petting Zoo, and family camping. See Pack Outings for the latest calendar. A
Cub Scout should wear his Class "A" uniform to Den Meetings,
Pack Meetings, and all Official Scout outings. Pack Leader/Committee Meetings FOR—ALL LEADERS/COMMITTEE
