Pack Meetings
The Pack Meeting is the climax of the monthly Cub Scout program. Pack Meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month, September through June, starting at 7pm and run approximately an hour. We meet at Saint Philip's Episcopal Church Hall, Easthampton

All the Pack's Dens gather together for this monthly program run by the Cubmaster and the Assistant Cubmaster. Most Pack meeting programs will include opening and closing ceremonies, recognition of the boys who have earned awards and rank advancements, skits and songs from some of the Dens, and on occasion a special program or visitor will be presented.

Pack Meetings are family events and the boys enjoy being recognized in front of their families. Our Cubs are expected to be attentive and courteous during the Pack Meetings. We also ask that our parents and Cub siblings observe this same behavior.

Please check our calendar for details about upcoming Pack Meetings

Den Meetings
The Cub Scout Dens are the basic unit of Cub Scouting. Dens are composed of four to eight boys of the same grade, age and rank. They typically meet two to four times per month for an hour or more starting in September and ending in June. Den meetings are generally held at the Den Leader's or Assistant Den Leader's house. Your son's Den Leader will provide you specific information about the location and time of your son's Den Meetings.

Den meetings are planned and run by the Den Leader with the help of an Assistant Den Leader and sometimes a Den Chief (a Boy Scout). They often include games, songs, handicrafts, and practicing skits and ceremonies for the next Pack Meeting. Sometimes work on advancement requirements is also included. Parents are asked to check in with the son's Den Leader before they drop them off at a meeting. Depending on the size of the den and the planned activities, extra hands are often needed. While some advancement may be worked on at den meetings, it is the parents' responsibility to assist their sons in completing their advancement requirements.
