Pack Meetings are scheduled for the last Friday of the  month at 7:00 pm (This is subject to change for holidays and special events). Parents and siblings are welcome and encouraged to participate.    

Den meetings are generally twice monthly and scheduled by the den leader.  Tigers need parents to stay at meetings and participate in activities with a focus on participation and achieving the badge to gain confidence and sense of accomplishment. Younger siblings may accompany the responsible adult.
