Pack 1 meets for Den Meetings on Monday nights.  Den meetings usually begin at 7:00 and end at 8:00 pm. The exception to Monday nights Scout meetings is if there is no school that day, there is no Scout meeting that night ("no school = no scouts").

 

Here's our schedule of old OLD events, whose time has passed, if you're interested in seeing how active a Pack we were.

 

All Adult Leaders should be trained.  A trained leader means a happier leader and a much happier Scout Den. Here's information on essential Scout Leader Basic Training, which is available from the Golden Spread Council. Check the Schedule of Events Calendar for training dates and times.

 

Here is an official Statement of Scout's Purpose, taken from the Boy Scouts of America web page.

 

For your camping needs, here is a Cub Scout Camping Check List.

Below is a map to Ridgecrest Elementary, where Pack 1 meets for all Pack meetings.  Unless the last Monday falls on a school or other holiday, Pack 1 meets on the last Monday of every month, at 7:00 p.m. in the Ridgecrest Cafeteria.  If the last Monday is a holiday, then we meet on the next-to-the-last Monday of that month. Also, we have no Den meetings on holidays.  The general rule is "if there's school, there's Scouts; no school, no Scouts."

 

Pack meetings usually last about 45 minutes to 1 hour, and begin at 7:00 pm.  We sometimes have a short Pack Committee meeting immediately after Pack meetings (15 to 20 minutes tops!  Really!!).  If we don't have a committee meeting after a Pack meeting, we have Pack committee meetings on Sunday afternoons as the need arises.  These Pack Committee meetings are "follow up" meetings to our first, and main, planning meeting held in August (usually before the start of each school year).  For example, at the August Pack Committee meeting we plan our Pack's entire year's activities, from late-August thru July of the next year.

In addition to Pack Committee meetings, from time to time we have meetings to plan for specific Scout events, such as our annual Pinewood Derby or Blue & Gold Banquet.  Those committee meetings are on an irregular basis, usually occurring from late September through February.
