Did You Know?
Research conducted by Eli Lilly in Indianapolis, Indiana, showed that a common element of strong packs is they all have a good annual program planned a year in advance that is shared with all families in the form of a calendar. The important result of a shared annual program calendar is that your pack will attract more families and Cub Scouts will stay involved longer.
