All meetings will be from 7:30 PM sharp (unless otherwise noted) until 8:30 PM, and will be held at Ellsworth Hill Elementary in the school's cafeteria (Stow Road & Middleton Road). The dates, times, and specific locations of any “Den Outing” events will be determined and
communicated as much in advance as possible. Any Den Meetings, Den Outings, or “At Home”
achievements missed must be made up by the boy and his family at home before the end of the Cub Scout year.
