[quote=Anonymous]The website that you found the local Packs should list the email addresses, email the ones you are interested in and find out when they are holding their join Scouting night. Normally it is late August, early September. Attend that event and see how the Pack runs. I would ask about what activities they do, how often the Pack camps, do they attend summer day camp or over night camps, and what they expect from parents. Find out what percentage of Adult Leaders are fully trained by BSA standards. If the answer is less then 90% look else where.

Find the ones that you are most comfortable with and attend a Den meeting for your child’s age group. See how the Den Leader runs a meeting and how the kids interact. See what the other parents do to support the Den Leader.

Know that you can change Packs if the fit isn’t great, it is actually pretty easy to do. The same holds for Troops if he bridges into a Troop. Finding a good fit is important and every Pack has it’s own feel. [/quote]
