Basic Structure Unchanged Same 7 parts to
Pack Meetings

• Before the Meeting. Pack Leaders gather to
  prepare meeting place room set up, prepare
  exhibits and displays, equipment ready, and
  agenda is distributed.
• Gathering Time. Provides interesting things for
  boy and family to do while waiting for everyone
  else to arrive.
• Opening. A brief ceremony marks the beginning of
  the meeting. Often consists of a flag
  presentation, a brief prayer, or a song.
• Program. May include presentations and
  performances by the dens demonstrating things the
  boys learned during the month, activities
  involving entire audience, or a featured event.

Pack Meeting Structure

• Recognition. An important part of the pack
  meeting is formal recognition given to the Cub
  Scouts who have earned badges or other awards,
  and the leaders who have earned training awards,
  religious emblems, or other community awards.
• Closing. Begins with announcements about special
  events, coming activities, theme for the next
  month, date of the next pack meeting, followed by
  a closing ceremony.
• After the Meeting. After the pack meeting leaders
  and boys help to put the meeting space back in
  order and its a chance for an informal
  fellowship session. Some packs might have
  refreshments.
