You're a parent who said yes when no one else would. Now you're running meetings for 30 kids with zero professional training and tools built for a different era. Sound familiar?
Built for the Thursday-night reality of running a Cub Scout pack — not for administrators.
Build an ordered list of meeting blocks — opening, awards, skits, announcements, closing — each with a title, planned duration, presenter, and notes. Export as PDF. Done in minutes.
Save your standard pack meeting structure as a template. Next month's agenda takes five minutes, not fifty. Tweak what's different, keep what works.
Full-screen view during the meeting. See the current segment, countdown timer, who's presenting, and what's next. Tap to advance. Screen stays on automatically.
A full library of rank advancement, crossover, and Arrow of Light ceremony scripts — ready to read aloud. Save personal copies, edit them, and build your own library.
Plan your whole pack year in one place. Pinewood Derby, Blue & Gold, campouts, recharters — add events, set dates, and link runbooks so nothing falls through the cracks.
Track gear with a packable checklist, fill out your tour plan, and export everything as a PDF to share with parents and leaders before you leave.
Pre-written templates for meeting reminders, den leader prep notes, post-meeting recaps, and pack announcements — pre-written and ready to customize. Copy or share in seconds.
Generate a polished PDF welcome packet for new families — meeting schedule, dues, key contacts, uniform guide, and a customizable cover letter. Shareable in one tap.
Track which scouts get which awards at each meeting, check them off live during pack night, and keep a Scoutbook-ready record. No more scrambling the night before.
Sign in and your meetings, templates, calendar, campouts, activities, and ceremonies back up and sync automatically across your devices. Your data, on every phone you use.
A browsable library of pack-meeting themes and activities you can drop straight into an agenda — plus save and edit your own.
Step-by-step planning runbooks for the big events — Pinewood Derby, Blue & Gold, recruitment night — with task lists that link to your pack calendar.
Ceremony scripts and activities shared by real pack leaders. Submit your own, earn recognition on the leaderboard, and pull from a growing library the whole community builds together.
See what other leaders rated each script and activity so you can pick what actually works.
Tighten up your meeting reminders and announcements with on-device AI polishing — private, nothing leaves your phone. (iPhone)
Quick in-app reference for the Guide to Safe Scouting rules you need at your fingertips.
Your pack data stays on your device — no ads, no tracking, no selling your data. Pack agendas, scouts, ceremonies — all local, all yours.
When the meeting starts, flip to full-screen cue-card view. One segment fills the screen — what it is, who's running it, how long you have, and what your notes say. Tap to advance.
Akela+ is in public beta on iPhone and Android — and it's already grown well past the core meeting toolkit, with new features landing all the time. Here's what's up next, built one at a time, shaped by what leaders actually need.
My oldest son has been in Cub Scouts since he was a Lion. When our Cubmaster left, no one else stepped up, so I did.
I found myself building meeting rundowns, ceremony scripts, and pack resources from scratch every month, juggling files across different apps and folders. It drove me crazy. I wanted everything in one place.
Once I started building Akela+ for myself, I realized making it easier for me means making it easier for every pack leader, so we can spend less time on prep and more time on the reason we all said yes in the first place: the scouts.
The iPhone beta is live on TestFlight, and the Android beta is open too — just email info@akelaplus.com to be added. Want updates as Akela+ heads toward its full App Store release? Drop your email below.
