Wolf Cub Program Schedule
The Wolf program runs from September to May. If the pack awards the Wolf rank badge at the BlueGold dinner in February, that gives less than 6 months to fulfill the requirements. Our pack did that a couple years and it was quite frustrating for the den leaders. We now present the Wolf rank badges at the April pack meeting. Some dens start right into their Wolf program in May so they are active over the summer - if new scouts join in September, that makes it more difficult for them.
2 den meetings each month - (2nd Thursday at 6:30pm for 1 hr, 4th Sunday at 2pm for 2 hrs)
1 pack meeting each month - (3rd Thursday at 7pm)
The Den Leader is responsible for planning activities for the month's den meeting and hosting the den meeting. The den leader uses a Den Meeting Planner document to organize the plan.
We used an adult Guide to help lead activities at each meeting. Your den may work better with no Guide or with having each Guide do all the planning and leading of the month's meetings - it depends on your adult participation levels.
A blank version of this schedule document is available here.
