Welcome your new parents and share your Pack information by using color-coded folders. This will keep all pertinent information for each den together and add to the color scheme of the Cub Scouts. Use orange folders for Tigers, yellow for Wolves, blue for Bears, and green for Webelos.

Folders can contain a Calendar for the year, applications, information on YPT/Training, fees, fundraisers, mini Boy’s Life, BSA yellow parent handout, as well as an overview of the Scouting experience. Other suggestions would be to include a FAQ page and a list of common terms and acronyms so commonly used in Scouting.

Thank you Pack 675 for this great idea!!!
