Pack 862 is a very active pack, with activities offered year-round!
In addition to bimonthly* meetings of each Den (grade-level group), our full Pack gets together throughout the year for fun activities and campouts!
* The Lion (Kindergarten) den meets once a month, and AOL Scouts (5th graders) may meet more often, up to weekly.
