Cub Scout Pack Meetings
The monthly pack meeting brings together boys from every den,
their leaders, and their families, to participate in a large-scale event
that serves as a showcase for everything the boys have learned and done
in their individual den meetings. The pack meeting gives the boys a
larger experience beyond their own den, and helps them to connect their
individual activities to the entire Cub Scouting program.
All Cub Scout den meetings have the following parts:
- Before the Meeting. Before the Cub Scouts arrive, leaders gather
to make preparations and handle last-minute details.
- Gathering Activity. As the Cub Scouts begin to arrive, they join
in an informal activity or game, often conducted by the den chief to
keep the boys interested and active until the entire group has
arrived.
- Opening. The opening is the official start of the den meeting.
It usually consists of a formal ceremony, such as a flag ceremony, a
prayer or song, or a group recital of the Cub Scout Promise.
- Program. The program part of the meeting will vary by the age
of the boys (see below), and may be broken into two or more parts.
Generally, most of the meeting consists of craft projects, games, and
activities that are all based on the monthly theme.
- Closing. The closing draws the meeting to an end. It's usually
serious and quiet. Den leaders could present a thought for the day or
give reminders about coming events.
- After the Meeting. The leaders review the events of the meeting,
finalize plans for the next den meeting, and review their progress
toward the upcoming pack meeting.

Cub Scout Den Meetings
A den is a group of six to eight boys, within the pack, that
meets several times a month between pack meetings. The boys in a den are
usually all at the same grade level. The den structure allows boys to
build relationships with leaders and other boys. The den provides
opportunities for activities that would be difficult with a large group.
The den also provides leadership opportunities for the boys.

Things Cub Scouts Do
Some of the best things about Cub Scouting are the activities you get to do:
camping, hiking, racing model cars, going on field trips, or doing projects that
help your hometown and the people who live there. Cub Scouting means "doing."
Blue and Gold Banquets
In February, when Scouting celebrates its "birthday," packs
across the country hold blue and gold banquets. In nearly all packs, the
banquet is a very special event.
Cub Scout Camping
Learn to live in the outdoors. Camping takes you on exciting adventures into the natural world.
Cub Scout Derbies
Racing in a Cub Scout derby is great fun. You'll get to design your racing
vehicle, work with a parent to build it, and see it perform on race day.
Outings and Field Trips
"Outing" is a big part of Scouting. Cub Scouts get out and about with many
kinds of outdoor fun, such as field trips, hikes, nature and conservation.
Service Projects
Doing service projects together is one way that Cub Scouts keep their promise
"to help other people."
