MEETING
PROGRAMS
Has your pack sampled this easy-to-take,
one-a-month planning capsule that guarantees healthier
Cubbing? If not, just follow these simple directions.
MOTHERS MEET
Now the meeting breaks up—into two groups! The
Den Mothers retire to another room with the ideas com-
mittee chairman. They'll be whipping up some more
ideas for use at next month's den meetings, as well as
discussing some of their mutual problems—like noise-
level control at den meetings.
ROUTINE BUSINESS
While the ladies are hard at work, the pack com-
mittee is having its short business meeting. The men
tackle such items as finances, new members, the organ-
ization of a new den, and other routine business. About
30 minutes later they will share their decisions when
the Den Mothers rejoin them to plan next month's theme.
A FINAL CHECK
But before they plan the new theme there's some old
business—setting details for the current month's pack
meeting, which is coming up in one week. This is why
wise leaders meet a week before the pack meeting—they
can then cover both meetings in a single session. Thus,
the planning meeting for June should come a week be-
fore May's pack meeting.
THE NEW THEME
It's now time to plan the high lights of next month's
den meetings and pack meeting. Led by the Cubmaster,
the new theme pages in the quarterly are reviewed.
Next, the Den Mothers outline their four den meetings,
recording their plans in program notebooks or on
Weekly Den Meeting Program sheets. Finally, everyone
outlines plans for next month's high light—the pack
meeting. This is the time to make assignments, listing
needs and responsibilities.
FELLOWSHIP
Simple refreshments climax the evening's work. Thus,
in a single monthly meeting, the ideas committee re-
ports, the final details for the current month's pack
meeting are set, the pack committee does its routine
business, and the high lights of next month's den and
pack meetings are planned.
So everybody leaves this meeting, knowing exactly
what has to be done. If there is a single remedy for weak
planning, it is this meeting. It gets the job done and uses
the volunteer's time efficiently.
Incidentally, this multiple vitamin for building pack
programs isn't new—and it isn't a miracle drug, either.
Its ingredients are a simple, logical mixture of work,
planning literature, and fellowship. Leaders of strong,
healthy packs have been using it for years.
