Just wanted to know if you have a brand new pack starting from scratch, how long does it take normally to get everything done, paperwork ,ect.. to be able to start den meetings?

Just wondering what is a time frame to say everythings moving along okay. have parents wanting to know when we are starting meetings don't know how long it takes to get up and running, any ideals? Thanks

Once the charter has been signed and paid for, most things should be in place, including all registrations.

 

You stated that everyone has done the online training. The whole point of training online is to minimize delays in getting the boys the program they signed up for.

 

The National site has LOTS of helps for new den leaders. Including Program Helps and Fast Tracks meeting outlines.

 

The den leaders should get their stuff, and their Scouts, together and start their meetings.

 

For your Wolf den that has 2 assistant leaders, they can work together and get the den off and running. They don't have to wait for an "official" den leader. Who knows, they may decide they can do it themselves once they get going.

 

The following resource, "The Pack's First Three Months", is a bit dated, for Tigers especially, but might still be useful -
