• 1 or 2 interactive Den meetings per month, where Scouts participate in Adventures that deliver the Cub Scout Program

• 2 camping trips each year (optional, fall & spring)

• Pinewood Derby, Raingutter Regatta, hiking, fishing, etc.

Find more details on our activities page.

How we do it

• Pack 648 is run by parent volunteers and organized into Dens based on grade level.

• During regular Den meetings, Scouts work on completing a series of Adventures to earn their Rank.

• Missed meeting content can be completed outside of the Den along with the help of an Adult Partner (parent/guardian).

• A monthly meeting or activity for the entire Pack reinforces that we belong to something more than our smaller groups and presents opportunities for recognizing achievements.
