If you want a Great Big List of Places to Go and Things to Do Around Atlanta -- whether for Scouting activities or for you and your guests at the holidays -- see our page entitled "The Great Big List of Places to Go and Things to Do Around Atlanta".  This is collection of events and destinations could be attended by both Cub Scouts Families and Scouts BSA Troops, with Scouts BSA Troops doing more challenging activities. These are grouped into these topics: Events (including parades, service events, Native American events and local events),then Unique Activities (like trains), then Outdoor Destinations (Scout Camps, State Parks, and more), Biking / Wheels, Sports Events and Destinations, Caving, Swimming/Water, including canoeing and rafting, Boating, Fishing, Climbing, Zip Lines, Horses, Science, Museum and Nature Destinations, Historic, Business, Political, Art and Religious Destinations, Distant Destinations (Overnighters, maybe “long weekends”), plus some Fun Activities to Do in Lots of Places and Links to Other Cub Scout Program Resources. Got More Ideas?  Email the Webmaster at webmaster@southfultonscouting.com.

The full set of Mixed Grade Den Meeting Plans is now out and available without a login. Details about why these plans were created are found at Den Meeting Plans for Mixed Dens page (bottom line: Cub Scouting Rank Advancement assumes dens are have only those in that den's grade level.  And that a den has 6 to 8 Scouts.  But many Packs don't have 36 to 48 Scouts neatly divided into dens like that.  So where you only have 2 or 3 Scouts in a grade level, you have some challenges).  That's why we have Assembled Den Meeting Plans available for:

• Lion + Tiger Mixed Dens
• Lion + Tiger + Wolf Mixed Dens
• Lion + Tiger + Wolf + Bear Mixed Dens
• Tiger + Wolf Mixed Dens
• Tiger + Wolf + Bear Mixed Dens
• Tiger + Wolf + Bear + Webelos Mixed Dens
• Wolf + Bear Mixed Dens
• Wolf + Bear + Webelos Mixed Dens
• Wolf + Bear + Webelos + Arrow of Light Mixed Dens
• Bear + Webelos Mixed Dens
• Bear + Webelos + Arrow of Light Mixed Dens
• Webelos + Arrow of Light Mixed Dens 

As noted in the Den Meeting Plans for Mixed Dens page, Once We Start Using These, What If Our "Mixed" Den Starts Growing Too Big?  That's the goal -- make it easy for parents (parent-leaders) of small grade groups that join into a "mixed" den, have fun, and attract more friends to the Den so that eventually you have full sized dens at each grade level.

• So if you have 3 Lions, 3 Tigers and 3 Wolves in a mixed den, and then you grow by 3 Wolves to 6 or 7 Wolves, let the Wolves loose into their own Den.  
• They can pick up with Wolf-only Adventures from our Wolf Adventures page.
• The remaining Lions and Tigers can then switch to the Lion + Tiger Mixed Den Plans, hopefully until each of those grow to 6 or 7 each and start using Lion-only Adventure resources and Tiger-only Adventure resources.
