Regular Meetings & Events

Pack Meetings

0 or 1 per month. We hold our Pack meetings at 6:30 PM at Stoner Creek Elementary's cafeteria. At these meetings we review upcoming events, celebrate our accomplishments, and learn something new. These are fun meetings where all of our dens can mingle and get to know one another.

Den Meetings

1–2 per month. Den meetings are coordinated by your Den Leaders. There are scheduled days for using Stoner Creek Elementary's cafeteria with other dens but meetings can be anytime and anywhere. These meetings are where the Scouts in a Den can work to complete the requirements for their rank.

Hiking

Quarterly. There are Pack hikes across the entire year at the closer state parks, local city parks, and Boxwell Scout Reservation. We love to explore, observe wildlife, and be outside together. Look at the calendar to see where the next one will be.

Camping

Fall & Spring. Camping is one of the most exciting activities our Pack gets to do. We get to let go of the electronics and experience nature while having an adventure and learning new skills. Some of our campouts are just our Pack or even just a Den. While others are Camporees put on by our District or Council. In the past we have camped across Boxwell Scout Reservation in Wilson County and Long Hunter State Park.

Summer Camp

June. Family Scouting at Cubworld at Boxwell and the Cumberland District Day Camp are great ways to finish the program year on a high note. The Day Camp offers the opportunity to work on advancements and to have fun doing the things Cub Scouts love to do like shooting BB guns and archery! Family Scouting at Cubworld is when scouts get to experience an outdoor overnight stay in the great outdoors, discovering nature, Scout skills, aquatic activities, and much more.

Pinewood Derby

February. All of our Scouts love to compete in the spring in the Cumberland River District's Pinewood Derby. The Pack provides pinewood car kits for Scouts and friends and family to build their cars. We host a build workshop to help racers get their car ready for the big race. We race our cars against each other with the fastest in the Pack competing against other Packs in the district. It's a highlight of the year!

Community Service

4 per year. Pack 253 takes the opportunity to teach youth the importance of community service whenever we can. We have four recurring service activities we have fostered.

Fall: Cleaning up Stoner Creek Elementary.
Winter: Creating blanks for Project Linus.
Spring: Long Hunter State Park cleanup and projects.
Summer: Placing flags in the Nashville National Cemetery for Memorial Day.

Parent Meetings

Monthly. Our parents support the pack's program by making decisions scheduling, events, and coordinating with our district & Council. Leveraging the leadership of the “Key Three” we plan and execute our yearly activities to the best of our abilities. Meetings focus on Pack needs, financials, and future planning. Attending a parent's meeting is a great way for a family to be more involved.
