We meet once a month as a group (k-5) at Pack Meetings, but we like to call them “Pack Shows” – it’s more entertaining and FUN for all. The Pack Shows provide an opportunity for the Dens (groups of up to 7 scouts of the same grade) to perform a flag ceremony, put on a skit, and be recognized on what they’ve been working on the past month. This recognition helps support the Cub Scout Motto of "Do Your Best". The recognition earned can be patches, belt loops / pins, or for going above and beyond by being helpful and showing good Scout Spirit. Each Pack show has a theme to help make the event a little more entertaining and fun while we share our experiences and achievements.
Dens typically meet once or twice a month separately to work on varying adventures (skills and activities), such as safety, fitness, citizenship, etc.
We also typically have two pack campouts each year, plus other fun events and activities! We also have an excellent record of transitioning scouts from Webelos into a Boy Scout Troop!

WHAT'S THE COST?
Our annual Registration Fee is $200.00 which covers registration, insurance and Scouts Life Magazine for the entire year plus the awards/patches they earn throughout the year with the Pack/Den.
