Pack 566 Den Meeting Page
Den Meetings are a gathering of same aged cub scouts
For our Grade K to 5 (Lions, Tigers, Wolfs, Bears, Webeloes, and Arrow of Light Cubs:
A Den Meeting is a gathering of same aged Cubs. When a Den gets to be 10-20 members it may be split into two dens of the
same year with separate den meetings. Typically, at least one parent of each Cub attends the meeting which runs about an hour or so with some special events lasting
longer. Pack 566 generally meets weekly during the school year. The 2nd week of the month is a Pack Meeting (K-5) and the rest are Den Meetings.
In the Fall and spring we meet outdoors at Kevin Moran Park in Saratoga (far left end next to tennis court). We bring lights for each table as it becomes dark.
In the Winter we move indoors to Menlo Church (no religious affiliation) next to Saratoga High School.
Occasionally a Den will have its own field trips. These may include a hike, even, field trip to a local destination such as the fire station, sheriff's office, musuem, nature trail, or other locale of interest.
Cupertino school districk CUSD requires that no meeting of its children can be at a persons home.
