 Our Den Meeting format HAS CHANGED as of January 2012. We are still working out the details; however, rank achievement and ADVANCEMENT IS our main focus. What we have discovered is that it is CRITICAL that advancement, meeting the book requirements, is the Scout's and Parents responsibility in the home setting. This being the case, OUR PACK IS DOING THINGS RIGHT!! We are more the "rule" than the "exception" in how we are running our program. We are doing it right; our GOLD Journey to Excellence Award proves that fact!! You can be proud of what WE have accomplished as a Pack!!!
To make Advancement a priority, we must work as a unit through our Parent Leader (Pack) Committee to make sure that our boys are being offered enough Pack based activities and Den based outings. To do this the Pack and the Pack Trainer in cooperation with the Cubmaster, Council, and District will work diligently to see that the "Two Deep Leadership" requirement is ALWAYS met and that background checks, Tour Permits, Medical Forms, etc. are completed or obtained in a timely manner. It is my goal as Cubmaster that by the end of June 2012, that many of our boys will be ready to advance and that Webelos will be ready to crossover into the Boy Scouts. I am very pleased with the progress we have made up to this point and my New Years Resolution and wish is that we continue onward to greatness for the Scouts in our care! I promise to do my BEST in 2012 as Cubmaster for Pack 405 in Aumsville, OR.
Call "Cubmaster Dave" at 503-580-4677 with any comments or questions!! Pass this along to other Scouts and their families too!!
