Meetings

Den and Pack meetings are part of scouting where skill instruction is taught and Scouts have the opportunities to accomplish tasks needed to pass their Scouting requirements. Beginning in first grade, Scouts earn belt loops for each requirement or elective that they pass. Once Scouts reach the Webelos level, they earn pins rather than belt loops. Awards are given at monthly Pack meetings.

Den Meetings

Most den meetings begin at 7:00 pm, but some den leaders start earlier. Class A uniform should be worn to Pack meetings unless otherwise specified. It is important to participate in den meetings so that your Scout can learn the skills necessary to pass the requirements for each level. If your Scout misses a meeting, it is the parent's responsibility to go over anything that was missed with the child in order for them to stay on track. Parents may sign off on Scouting requirements at home and notify the den leader.

Den Ranks

  • Lions - Kindergarten
  • Tigers - 1st grade
  • Wolves - 2nd grade
  • Bears - 3rd grade
  • Webelos - 4th grade
  • Arrow of Light - 5th grade

Our Arrow of Light Scouts complete their rank by the end of October and crossover to either the Boy or Girl Troop in November.

Pack Meetings

Pack meetings begin at 7:00 pm and we encourage families to arrive early to help with setup. Class A uniforms should be worn to monthly Pack meetings unless otherwise specified. Pack meetings vary from educational programs to fun activities. The whole family is welcome to attend the Pack meeting and there are several opportunities where we recommend inviting extended family (such as grandparents, aunts, and uncles) when Scouts will earn their age-appropriate rank badge (Lion, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, and Arrow of Light).

Attendance

Looking at scouting like a sport: the pack meetings are like practice/rehearsal, and the campouts are like game days/tournaments/competitions. It is important that Scouts attend as much as they can. Additionally, we provide several opportunities throughout the year for Scouts to participate in community service projects.
