The preparation of Pack Meetings starts first with planning a theme for your pack meetings. These themes expand to theme Ceremonies for advancement, Staging events, having PIZZAZZ and Recognizing your volunteers from the past meetings and/or events. The great thing in scouting you don't have to brain storm on the themes they are right here for you over the next two years. These themes also include Webelo themes. And at Roundtable, we will provide you handouts and give examples of a typical Pack Meeting. Most of all, We have FUN. Because if it isn't fun your scouts won't enjoy the program.
