PACK MEETINGS
Pack Meetings are held every 4~6 weeks throughout the year.
It is at these meetings that Cub Scouts are recognized for
various achievements.  Parent attendance and support at these
meetings is VERY important.  All family members are welcome
but pre-school aged children may have a difficult time
sitting still through a 2 hour program.  Parents may want to
consider arranging childcare so they can focus their full
attention on their Cub Scout for the night.
Due to the number of awards to be presented, Pack Meetings
may run until 8:45 or 9:00 PM.

PACK COMMITTEE MEETINGS
Parent involvement is vital to being able to provide the highest quality program and serve the needs of all our scouts.  The Pack Committee will generally meet at 7:00 PM on the first Monday of each month.  Meetings typically last about 2 hours.  All parents are welcome to a seat at the table and are encouraged to participate.

The Pack Committee is the appropriate forum to offer suggestions, present new ideas, resolve complaints, and discuss all matters related to the program, policies, and operation of the unit.

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

DAY TRIPS, SERVICE PROJECTS, ETC.
Pack 868 has planned several weekend events over the next few months.  Informational handouts and permission forms for these outings will be provided about 2 weeks prior to each activity.  Costs will be nominal and affordable for all Cub Scouts and family members.  Cub Scouting is more than just weekly den meetings.  Please DO YOUR BEST to participate in weekend outings.

SCOUT RECRUITING
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.  If your son is having a good time as a
Cub Scout in Pack 868, please tell other parents and invite them to come and be a part of Pack 868, too!

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.  A crew of pack parents is needed to collect aluminum cans in the parking lot at Cardinal Stadium after football games.  Virtually anything metal can be recycled.  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.
