10. Schedule Den meetings for the year

    • One Den meeting each month through May

      • Make it work with your schedule but try to be consistent (Pick Tuesdays, Sundays, etc). We have open time scheduled at St. John on Sunday afternoons from 2-4 PM when the weather is bad (just coordinate with me for keys). Otherwise, den meetings can be held at Creasey, Harrods Creek Park, Library (reserve library rooms here) or wherever is a good fit to complete the den meeting objectives.

      • Review the leader schedule for open Den times at St. John

    • Input meetings into GroupMe chat for your Den

    • The below adventures will be covered at Pack meetings:

      • Bobcat

      • Let's Camp

      • Citizenship

      • Personal Fitness

      • Personal Safety

      • Racetime

      • Outdoors

    • Fill in Den meetings with remaining adventures for your Den. Use THIS guide to plan your adventures for meetings

      • The first den meeting should focus on the remaining requirements for Bobcat (done at August Pack meeting) and completing the requirements for Scouts who did not attend August Pack meeting

      • Scouts need to complete the 6 required adventures and 2 elective adventures to earn the rank of their den. This should be your focus when scheduling den meetings

      • Note: The 'Family and Reverence' elective is to be completed AT HOME. Parents will complete at home with their child and notify den leaders when complete

11. Record advancements in Scoutbook

    • Make sure to record Scouts who were at the August Pack meeting for Bobcat adventure
