Meetings
Pack Meetings are held at Black Forest Community Club. Den Meetings are held at a location of Den Leaders’ choosing.
Den Meetings – Days and Times are determined by the Den Leader.
What are Den Meetings? Den meetings are when cub scouts break off into groups with other scouts their age. The scouts work on their required and elective adventures, practice upcoming skits, and learn and perform lessons they will use for the rest of their lives. Currently, many of our dens meet at Den Leader homes on Thursday nights.
