Welcome to the Pack 794 Arrow of Light Den page.  This page will be used as a reference source for our Scouts and their families to use so that everyone knows what we are working on.  Please note that it is important for your Scout to attend every Den and Pack meeting so that they can get their requirements completed.  If they miss a meeting, it may be difficult to make up.
