Cub Scout Meetings... What do they do?

What do they do in a meeting?

Do we really need to go?

YES! Go! My husband is engaging sometimes and bored other times. But he has gone to every meeting that we have had after work. ( lol. This was 2 years ago. Now i am tge one that goes but he does help with special events) That means the world to my son!
 When we were still new, i had questions for everything. I even helped our den leader. Last year I took over as den leader and i love it! Still sometimes have questions, so don't be afraid to ask. 

You will have 2 meetings in scouts. You have Den meetings ( where all our group meet up and work on specific achievements) and you have pack meeting ( where everyone in your pack comes together for important info and some fun games). Now, at one of our Tiger den meeting, one of the boys designed a game for the den boys to play. My son made a nutritious, healthy snack for the boys. We made our Den flag with the boy's hand prints. We did our 1st flag ceremony. We discussed our next meeting. It's a lot that we cram into 1 hour. That way the boys  don't get bored.

At one of our Pack meetings, they had the boys build a tent ( we had a camping trip coming up and they wanted the boys to practice.) I sent my son off with my husband to do that activity so that he could take pictures. I stayed with the moms asking lots of questions about camping and popcorn sales. And it's nice to see the older boys helping out our little tiger cubs. They also practiced the Scout Oath and the Scout Law. The kids were allowed on stage, state a superhero and demonstrate their powers. My son was the flash... The lesson was that not all super heroes wear large capes. So it gave the kids a chance to feel like super heroes, which was a huge hit. Here are some pictures of our pack meeting. 

Every meeting should be different. It should be informative and fun.
