Scouting America has a number of resources to help cub scout leaders and parents enjoy successful events. If you have been tasked with leading an event, here are some checklists and guides to help you plan.
If you are leading/planning a pack campout or Webelos den overnighter, consider reviewing the my.scouting.org training for Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO). You can access it by searching for BALOO in the course catalog. Any registered scout parent can review this material, even if you're not signed up for the in-person portion of the full training course.
See Scouting America's Guide to Safe Scouting for more resources on planning events and keeping our kids safe while having a great time.

"Generic Camping Event Head Count" can be copied and edited for your camping or other interactive/food-based event. It's a per-family sign up sheet, for camping or other large events that want an easy total headcount.
For a more simple "just tell us how many people are coming to this meeting" headcount, see below.
Important note: Change the header color for each event to make it obvious which event parents are signing up for.
In the future, we may switch to Scoutbook events to make it easier to notify pack members and schedule events.
