Pack meetings are generally held on the 3rd Thursday of each month at Glacier Edge Elementary School in Verona, at 6:30 pm. Scouts are awarded rank advancement and major awards at these meetings. In addition Pack to meetings, each scout meets with his Den at least once, and sometimes more frequently during the month, to work on achievements and electives to earn rank. Advancement toward rank is recognized in the Den meetings. Boys need to wear their Class A uniform at pack meetings. They are encouraged to wear either Class A or Class B uniforms, as appropriate to their Den meetings (Class B uniforms are Verona Scouts 'T' shirt purchased from the Pack).
