Pack 396 Information
Pack 396 is chartered by
Calvary United Methodist Church. The Pack serves as a "parent" organization to
the Dens and provides direction, program support and maintenance
of the budget. The Pack is led by the Pack Committee that
consists of representatives from each Den, Cubmaster and
parents. The Pack Committee Chairman leads these monthly
meetings and we encourage parents to participate when possible.
The Pack Committee along with the Cubmaster leads the group in planning and
organizing Pack programs.
Packs are divided into Dens of six to ten boys. Dens are
made up of boys in the same grade and age, so they can
work together to earn the appropriate Rank.
Pack Meetings
Pack Meetings and activities are held monthly. Special events
may be held at other local venues. The Pack Meetings may
include award ceremonies, Den Skits, guest speakers, activities
or special outings. It is a time for the entire unit and their
families to get together to learn and celebrate each
other’s accomplishments over the past month.

Den Meetings
Tiger Dens usually meet two or three times a month. Their
Den Meetings include the Scouts and their Adult Partners.
Each Den has a volunteer Den Leader, but all Adult Partners
work cooperatively to plan and host the meetings. Typically
each Scout/Partner team is assigned an activity from the
Tiger Cub Handbook to plan and host. These gatherings are
often outings to local points of interest.
Wolf, Bear, and Webelos Den Meetings are usually held once
a week for one to 1½ hours. Den Meetings can be held
at a Leader’s home, school, church or other venue
depending on the activity. Although the Den Leader and
Assistant Den Leaders are responsible for coordinating
and running the Den Meetings, each Scout’s family
will play an active role in the Scout activities, at the
meetings and at home. There must always be two (2) adults
present at all meetings and activities. The activities
at the Den Meetings vary widely from games, crafts, skills
work, field trips, etc. The National organization sets
a theme for each month and the Den Meetings may center
on this theme or one of the achievements in the rank book.
