Basic Structure – Unchanged
Same 7 parts to Pack Meetings
• Before the Meeting. Pack Leaders gather to prepare meeting place:
room set up, prepare exhibits and displays, equipment ready, and
agenda is distributed.
• Gathering Time. Provides interesting things for boy and family to do
while waiting for everyone else to arrive.
• Opening. A brief ceremony marks the beginning of the meeting. Often
consists of a flag presentation, a brief prayer, or a song.
• Program. May include presentations and performances by the dens
demonstrating things the boys learned during the month, activities
involving entire audience, or a featured event.

Pack Meeting Structure
• Recognition. An important part of the pack meeting is formal
recognition given to the Cub Scouts who have earned badges or other
awards, and the leaders who have earned training awards, religious
emblems, or other community awards.
• Closing. Begins with announcements about special events, coming
activities, theme for the next month, date of the next pack meeting,
followed by a closing ceremony.
• After the Meeting. After the pack meeting leaders and boys help to put
the meeting space back in order and it’s a chance for an informal
fellowship session. Some packs might have refreshments.
