[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My pack is led by an overall laid back person, we are encouraged to attend the pack meetings and the den meetings but no one is frowning for not making it. We've had a year where we attended most of the meetings and activities and another year where we attended only about half with no repercussions or any negative feedback. If your child's Den Leader wants you to attend a ton and you can't schedule in enough, you could even just find another pack nearby. Or just talk to the Den Leader/Pack Leader and explain that this year you might not make it to too many but that you expect differently next year or whatever your situation is.  [/quote]

Oh re: badges. My DS7 and I don't really keep track if he got all the badges or not. We were not asked to make up any mandatory activities on our free time, and he was moved on to the next level. Maybe it's less strict at that younger age or we got a less strict Den Leader?  [/quote]

Packs run differently so there is that. Some Packs will award rank to every kid who has participated regularly and some Packs only to kids who completed the required belt loops. In Cub Scouts, kids are promoted to the next level regardless of earning the rank. You move with your grade level. A child can move from Tiger to Wolf without earning the Tiger rank.

Troops, kids 11 and up, run differently. Kids have to complete all the requirements in order to earn rank or a merit badge. Patrols, the smaller units in a Troop, contain Scouts with different ranks. [/quote]
