What To Expect

Scouts and their parents are typically involved in two to three scheduled activities per month. A monthly Pack Meeting (see above) typically occurs once a month. Each Den (smaller group of 5-10 scouts in the same grade) will typically meet once per month to work on achievements and other activities. There may also be a field trip activity each month. Additionally we have several optional activities planned throughout the year including: camping, hiking, baseball games, basketball games, and overnight stays at interesting venues like the USS Hornet.

Each family is responsible for volunteering for three activities or positions each year. Pack Leadership committee and large event chairpersons get credit for two of those activities. Open activities and leadership positions will be posted at each pack meeting. In addition to your den’s meeting schedule, Pack 464 has tentatively scheduled the following events this year...

Pack 464's annual membership fee is $200. This covers both the BSA national membership dues ($80) and GGAC Youth Council Program Fee ($68), as well as expenses for awards and mandatory events for the year (patches, PWD and raingutter regatta supplies, etc.). There is also a $25 one-time joining fee for new program participants (for BSA National). Additional fees may be assessed for optional activities including, but not limited to: Boys Life Magazine ($15), Camping, A's and Warriors game, U.S.S. Hornet and the Black Diamond Mines tour.
