<\/a><\/p>\nHere\u2019s an open-ended request:<\/p>\n
please share with my your experiences.<\/p>\n
I am\u00a0signing on as committee chair, and taking on the responsibility of planning pack meetings, and will need to try to revive them and make them more interesting, as our numbers are dropping and our meetings are getting a bit, well, meh. \u00a0I\u2019ll be looking at various online resources, but, to the extent that I have Cub Scout parent readers, I\u2019d appreciate your comments.<\/p>\n
What does a typical pack meeting look like?<\/p>\n
What activities do you do? \u00a0What outside groups do you invite in for a demo or presentation? \u00a0Do you do skits, songs, or games?<\/p>\n
Thanks for your thoughts!<\/p>\n
