Meetings and Events

我們通常每隔一星期聚會一次,一般是在周六下午2:00在基督之家第五家聚會,但是有時候我們也會外出野餐、夜宿或者露營。

Pack 485 convenes regularly throughout the school year, typically gathering once every two to three weeks. Our primary meeting spot is the Home of Christ Church in Cupertino. In addition to our indoor sessions, we also organize a range of exciting outdoor activities, including picnics, sleepovers, and camping trips.

Welcome to your new adventure! Your time volunteering in Cub Scouting will be rewarding and fun, and the information here will help you get off to the right start. With the proper training, resources, and enthusiasm, you have the ability to make a positive difference in the lives of Cub Scouts.
We have pack meetings roughly every other week. You’ll have about 30-40 minutes for you to run the den meeting right after the pack meeting. In addition, it is recommended that you meet monthly with your den separately at your home, at HOC5 church, or at a location for the event you choose.

The Den Meeting is the most important part of Cub Scouting. It is where Cub Scouts build friendships, work together to learn new things, and progress towards earning their common badge of rank. Serving as a Den Leader is providing an opportunity to make a positive life long impact on your child and others in the den.
