Meeting Resources

Whether you are the Cubmaster planning the next pack meeting or a Den Leader planning your next den meeting - relax! The Boy Scouts of America has it all worked out for you. The program was revamped in May 2015, providing a simpler and more consistent path to advancement. The Cub Scout handbooks and den leader guides are new. The Pack loans each den one of each book.

CubScouts.org - Den meeting plans for the first adventures for each den are available on this site. Just go to the Learning Library section for these. Den meeting plans for some of the other adventures are posted below.

Generally, each den (Tiger through Arrow of Light) will meet 4 times a month:

Two den meetings where boys meet in the traditional setting and complete parts of the advancement requirements.
One field trip to go see something related to an achievement or just to go have fun as a group.
One Pack meeting where all the dens meet and celebrate the boys' achievements. The Pack meeting can be a fun event or trip.

Please consult the pack Committee Chair for additional den meeting resources.

Lion Program

The Lion program from the BSA provides materials for about two meetings per month during the school year. Even at that rate, the material is pretty light (might be done early in many meetings). If your Lion den will be meeting every week, you need more activities to complete the nights and to do during the nights in between the program nights. For this, you can use the following collection of activities:

Lion Scout Activities (on Boy Scout Trail)

Catching Up

Notes to parents catching up for missed meetings:

What your son needs to make up is completion of the adventure requirements, not completion of everything done in the den meeting.
In many cases, the materials in the den meeting plan will help to complete the adventure requirements, especially if a needed form is included there.
