Our Last Den Meetings are on May 3rd!
Our final den meetings for this school year will be on May 3, 2021, at the First Baptist Church. May tends to be a very busy time for families, so we limit the number of activities and events we offer as the school year comes to a close.
Graduation is Quickly Approaching!
Our 2021 Pack 317 Graduation will be on Monday, May 24, 2021, at the First Baptist Church. All Scouts that are working on advancements need to have them completed and turned-in to your Den Leader no later than May 14th to be recognized at our graduation ceremony.
After graduation, dens can begin to work over the summer on elective adventures for their next rank:
