This is our Pack having an overnight adventure at Old Sturbridge Village, where we learned about life in the early 1800s.
Our pack meeting and event calendars contain a full year of activities. Whether the theme is gratitude during the holiday season or bicycle safety in springtime, we strive to implement a program that resonates with events occurring in Scouts' daily lives.
DEN meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month. Lions, Tigers and Wolves will meet at 6 pm. Older scouts will meet at 7 pm.
PACK meetings are for all the dens together. They are on the third Sunday of the month.
Unless otherwise mentioned, all meetings are in the HUB of Saint Joseph Elementary School, 90 Pickering Street, Needham, MA 02492. Additional events may pop up as the year progresses -- stay tuned!
Any meetings that don't follow the first Tuesday / third Sunday pattern were moved to accommodate other holidays or events.
