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.

Pack Meeting – Campfire Songs @ HOC5
Apr 25 @ 2:00 pm – 3:45 pm

唱歌一直是童軍活動的重要部分,因為它讓我們更團結,讓露營更有趣!歌曲能帶來歡樂,建立友誼,並延續這項特別的童軍傳統。學習童軍歌曲,讓我們的活動更精彩。

Singing has always been an important part of Scouting because it brings people together and makes camping more fun! Campfire songs help us feel like a team, keep our spirits high, and make great memories. When we sing together, we’re not just making music—we’re sharing laughter, building friendships, and keeping a special Scouting tradition alive. Learning campfire songs will help us have even more fun on our next campout. So let’s sing loud and have a great time!
