The Real Problem

You volunteered to lead,
not to scramble.

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?

🗒️
The meeting agenda lives in your head You wing it from memory, something always gets dropped, and you go 20 minutes over.
⏱️
No one knows what time it is You look up, it's 8:15 PM and parents are staring daggers at you. Kids are losing it.
📋
Track everything in one place — no more scattered notes Advancement records, meeting notes, and pack resources all live in different apps. Nothing talks to the meeting that's happening tonight.
🔁
You rebuild the agenda every month Same opening, same flag ceremony, different awards — but you're starting from scratch each time.

Built for the way
pack night actually goes.

Built for the Thursday-night reality of running a Cub Scout pack — not for administrators.

Reusable Templates

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.

Why I Built This

Built by a pack leader,
for pack leaders.

"

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.
