NEW PARENT INFORMATION

MEETINGS

Dens meet weekly during the school year on Wednesdays at Hope Lutheran Church (Weather Permitting) or Selden Middle School from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Opening ceremony begins at 7:00 PM, please try to arrive a few minutes early so your Scout is prepared. Den leaders may plan off site activities, at which time they will notify you of the meeting location change. We do not meet during school recess or over summer break with the exception of special events.

Dens work independently to earn the requirements for their rank. Pack meetings occur once a month and include all dens. For all meetings, scouts should be in full Class A uniform.
