Full Year Planning

I want to stress the advantages of planning your Pack events for a full year. If you check the Atlanta Area Council master calendar you will find a number of events which you can work into your Pack year. Obtain calendars from the schools your Cubs attend, and look out for holidays, Mothers Day, and other obvious conflicts. Then plan your pack meetings, your camp outs, your "go see it" events, a Blue and Gold Banquet in February, plus a Pinewood Derby or other competitive event. Don't forget to plan for some kind of service days for your sponsoring organization (we pick up trash at our school's fall festival). Publishing a full year calendar at the start of the new school year enables your parents to plan for Cub Scout events and gives you and your Pack Committee the opportunity to do the preparation necessary to make those events meaningful for your Scouts. Try it! It works.
