Frequently Asked Questions

The Most Frequent Question

By far the most common question we get is: Do I have to do all of the events?

The answer to the question is: "definitely not!". We organize a few events per month, and we'd love to have you and your scout attend whichever events are of greatest interest, and work with your busy schedule. Can't make a hike one month? No problem. Missing a camping trip due to a sports obligation or a family trip? No problem. The scouting program offers a lot, and ultimately, it will be whatever you and your scout choose make of it.

Don't be intimated by our Pack event calendar - it's all optional.
