Fall 2026, start to finish
Every den meeting, pack meeting, committee meeting, and event from August through the first meeting of the new year. Print it, screenshot it, put it on the fridge.
The weekly rhythm
Den meetings
Mondays, 6:30 to 7:30 PM
Cedar Creek Church
Your Scout's grade level group. Roughly one hour, two or three Mondays a month.
Pack meetings
One Monday a month, 6:30 to 7:30 or 8:00 PM
Usually Cedar Creek Church
Families come too. Awards, a theme, and a lot of noise. Some are offsite, so check the location.
Committee meetings
Thursdays, 7:00 PM
Cedar Creek Church
The pack leadership meeting, and always open to every parent. No title, invitation or reason needed. This is where the year actually gets planned, so if you have ever wondered why something works the way it does, this is the room to ask in.
Schedules move and weather happens. Changes go out through the BAND app and the Facebook group before they reach this page.
