Pack meetings generally start at 3 PM, one Sunday per month, August - May. The meeting starts with a line up of each den, the presenting of the colors, the US Pledge of Allegiance, the Scout Oath, and the Scout Law.  Then, leadership typically give some announcements and scouts may receive awards from completed adventures.

Next, the pack breaks into dens in order to work on their next adventure. Scouts typically enjoy a snack brought by a parent and the meeting ends around 4:30.

Adventures are the cub scout path to advancement. Each adventure is a grade-specific, theme-specific set of requirements for cub scouts to accomplish in order to earn awards.  The requirements may be as simple as having a conversation, or as complex as designing or building a set of items. Each advancement is crafted to nudge scouts towards the goals of Scouting.

Cub scouts earn belt loops, which are small awards that can be displayed on the cub scout's belt or in a holder of your choosing. After completing each year's required adventures and two elective adventures, scouts earn a badge for the completed year.

Scouting troops are for students in 6th grade through their senior year of high school.  They follow a different model and curriculum than cub scouts.
