In addition to the following activities, each year we’re presented with new and exciting opportunities to participate in events as a pack. For example, in 2011, we went to a Kings game and then got to sleep over at Arco Arena! In March 2012, we spent the night in the shark tunnel at the San Francisco Bay Aquarium! The following is just a brief outline of some of the activities we do each year as a Pack; individual Dens also have their activities and programs they participate in as well.

For Cub Scouts who are 5 or in Kindergarten. To begin his path to the Lion rank, the Lion will be introduced to the Cub Scout promise, the Cub Scout sign, and the Cub Scout salute. To earn the Lion badge, a Cub Scout must complete five adventures. After he has earned the Lion badge, a Lion can work on the seven elective adventures.
For Cub Scouts who have finished Kindergarten. To begin his path to the Tiger rank, the Tiger must learn the Cub Scout promise, the Cub Scout sign, and the Cub Scout salute. To earn the Tiger badge, a Cub Scout must complete five achievements. After he has earned the Tiger badge, a Tiger Cub can work on the fifty electives to earn Tiger track beads.
For Cub Scouts who have finished first grade. To earn the Wolf badge, a boy must complete twelve achievements. After he has earned the Wolf badge, a Wolf Cub Scout can work on the twenty-three Wolf electives to earn arrow points.
Cub Scouts who have finished second grade. There are Twenty-four Bear achievements in four groups. A boy must complete twelve of these achievements to earn the Bear badge. These requirements are harder and more challenging than those for the Wolf badge. When a boy has earned his Bear badge, he may work on twenty-five electives to earn Arrow Points to wear under his Bear badge.
Cub Scouts who have completed third grade. The Webelos den program is different from the Cub Scout den program. Everything in the Webelos Scout program is more challenging than what younger boys in the pack do. Webelos Scouts get to work on the 20 Webelos activity badges.
After a boy has completed the fourth grade and earned the WEBELOS badge, the next step on the WEBELOS trail to becoming a Boy Scout is earning the Arrow of Light Award. This is the highest award a Cub Scout can earn, and is the only Cub Scout badge that can be worn on the Boy Scout Uniform. It's tougher to earn than the WEBELOS badge. The Cub Scout will have to earn the Webelos badge and at least eight activity badges, including Citizen, Readyman, and Fitness. The total must include one from each of the five activity groups.

Even though it has been over 69 years since Pack 29 was founded, the official Golden Empire Council record shows only 53 years of consecutive service. Sometime before 1965, there was a brief lapse which "reset the clock". Nonetheless, through the 65+ years of Pack 29, thousands of boys and hundreds of adult volunteers have participated in Cub Scouts, one of the world's greatest youth movements ... a movement that helps develop character, provides citizenship training, and promotes physical and mental fitness.
In 2018, there were big changes for the Cub Scout Program. After many years, the BSA started the Family Scouting program that accepted girls into Cub Scouting. Pack 29 became an early adopter pack and was one of the first two packs in the Golden Empire Council to start the Family Scouting program.
In past decades, the pack had difficulty establishing a permanent location in which to hold pack meetings. In mid-1990, several committee members met with the Rocklin Parks and Recreation Commission and obtained approval to use the Rocklin Community Center, where we still meet today.
