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 Nights, Den Meetings, Pack Outings, Committee and Roundtable meetings—the last one is 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 lots of Cub Scouts 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 third Thursday of the month at 7:00 PM.  

All Scouts, parents, and siblings of all ages are encouraged to attend. 

There are several reasons for Pack Meetings:

• Gives the Scouts a chance to display their completed projects and show off what they’ve learned to their friends and family. 
• The Scouts receive awards, badges, and other recognition for their hard work during the past month. 
• Promotes family communication and fun. 
• Communicate other aspects of Scouting and upcoming events.
• To build an appreciation that Scouts are part of a community and that good citizenship means caring about your friends and neighbors. 

Den Meetings

Pack Nights 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.  Den meetings are small gatherings, usually held weekly or twice a month.  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 small group meetings can be after school, in the evenings or weekends—whatever works best for the group.  Den meetings can be held in a home, a central meeting place or the meetings can sometimes be a field trip like visiting a police station, fire station, or nature center.

Pack Outings

Pack outings occur throughout the year at other area locations such as hiking trips, picnics, special events, etc. and are fun events designed to be enjoyable for the whole family.  

Pack Committee & Leader Meetings

All committee members and leaders should attend this monthly meeting.  Parents are encouraged to attend.  We discuss all Pack activities and would appreciate input from other interested parents. Your voice and ideas help make Pack 105 stronger.  Leader's meetings are usually held on the fourth Thursday of the month at 7:30 PM.
