Q: How many meetings are there per month?
A: A den usually meets 2 times per month. The Pack meets 1 -2 times per month, once for a pack meeting in which awards are given and some months there will be a pack outing. This means that a scout would have between 3-4 meetings per month total.
Q: When are the meetings?
A: Each den meets at different days/times. Contact the den leader for more information on specifics. Our Pack meetings are typically held the last Wednesday of the month at Evergreen Elementary School in Diamond Bar from 6:30 to 8:00pm. Pack outings are generally planned on Saturdays.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: The yearly registration for Pack 737 is currently $110.00. This includes a subscription to Boys Life Magazine and pays for all pack patches and awards for one year. Scouts will also need to purchase a uniform and scouting book.
Q: Do I need to attend the meetings with my scout or do I drop him off?
A: All parents, siblings and family members are welcomed and encouraged to attend the pack and den meetings. This is a special time for the scouts to be recognized for all their hard work and all they've achieved. You may not drop off your scout at these meetings. Pack outings are a family event and we encourage all family and friends to come along. The more the merrier!
Q: What is a den and what is a pack?
A: A den is a group usually made up of 6 - 10 cub scouts in the same grade at school. A pack is all scouts from all the grades together in one group.
