Cub Scout Pack 13 Altadena

s and leaders, once a month. Pack meetings are held in the afternoon on one Sunday a month in eastern Altadena. Pack meetings generally include dinner, sharing, various activities, guest speakers, and recognition for achievements. Scouts also meet once per month in grade-level Dens, usually at a den member's home. Boys participate in activities and work on projects that are related to an Adventure and that help them learn the skills they need to progress in rank. Den's also hold a variety of additional activities including tours, educational outings and community service events. In addition to pack and den meetings we have about four camping trips per year, ranging from scout camps like nearby Camp Trask and Camp Cherry Valley on Catalina Island to pack-centered trips to Joshua Tree National Park and other notable locations. We also attend the Gem-o-rama event in Trona, CA in the fall, hold our festive Pinewood Derby in the spring and usually plan one or two events over the summer months as well. Scout's are strongly encourage to participate in all den and pack meetings, though scouts can also work on rank advancement at home. The various camping trips and outings are optional though we encourage each family to participate to the fullest extent their time and energy allows! Scouting is a journey of personal growth and group participation, focused on character building, citizenship and fitness. As a group of dedicated volunteer leaders (ie. parents!) we look forward to walking with our boys on that journey, supporting them, encouraging them and having lots of fun along the way!
