PACK MEETINGS
Pack 868 will hold Pack Meetings every 4~6 weeks
throughout the fall, winter, and spring.  Like weekly
Den Meetings, Pack Meetings will generally be held at the
Shepherdsville Community Center on Thursday nights and
will run from 7:00-8:30 PM.

The first Pack Meeting of the 2010-2011 program year
will be held in late August.

Pack Meetings are where all the awards and achievements
 scouts earn are formally presented.  Parents are expected to attend.  Grandparents and other family members are welcome.
The program can be long and boring for younger siblings,
so parents are encouraged to arrange childcare
so that they can enjoy the program and devote their full
attention to their Cub Scout for the night.

Boys may join Scouting any time during the year.  Visitors are always welcome at weekly den meetings.  Current members who bring a friend that joins will earn a "Recruiter" patch
to wear on their uniform.

PARENT PARTICIPATION
Parent participation is a key element in a boy's success in the Scouting program.  If you are a Pack parent who has not yet gotten involved, please consider doing so.  If not as a Den Leader or assistant, then as a member-at-large on the Pack Committee.

The sons of participating, informed parents tend to be much more active and get the maximum benefit from the program.

ALUMINUM CAN RECYCLING
One of the easiest fundraising things we do is save and recycle
aluminum cans.  Pack families are urged to bag up their cans and
bring them to any Thursday night meeting.  It would be great if
you could smash them flat before bringing them, but we'll still
accept them un-smashed.  The Pack will also accept and haul off
old cars or other significant amounts of scrap metal.
This includes old air-conditioners, stoves, and other
appliances.  We'll also take old guttering and scrap wire.
Virtually anything metal.
