About

Akela+ is the toolkit for Cub Scout pack leaders — plan your meetings, run your calendar, organize campouts, and keep your pack's families in the loop, all from your phone. Built by a Cubmaster for the way a pack actually runs: most features work without an account, your data lives on your device, and there are no ads and no subscription. PLAN MEETINGS IN MINUTES • Build a meeting from blocks — gathering, ceremony, activity, announcements — with timing that adds up as you go • Start from a template, or browse full meeting plans shared by leaders everywhere • Libraries of ceremony scripts, activities and event runbooks, rated by the leaders who used them • Track awards to hand out, and check them off as you go RUN THE MEETING FROM YOUR PHONE • A live view walks you block by block, with what's next always in sight • The screen stays awake; timing cues keep the night on track • Share the agenda ahead of time, or a summary afterward — including a per-presenter "what I'm doing tonight" view YOUR PACK'S YEAR, ORGANIZED • A pack calendar built for scouting: den meetings, pack nights, campouts, derbies • Import your unit's calendar from Scoutbook Plus, Google Calendar, or any calendar app — re-import any time to stay in sync • Campout planning with gear checklists, tour plans and a printable packet • Communication drafts that fill in your pack's details automatically, ready to send BRING YOUR FAMILIES IN — NEW IN 2.0 • Invite families to your pack with a code or link; they get a simpler parent view • Publish a meeting and parents see the plan for the evening — never your agendas, notes or award lists • Volunteer sign-up sheets on any event, with capped spots: "Snacks, 2 needed" and two people can't both grab the last one • RSVPs on pack events, so you know your headcount before the night • Pack Chat for announcements, groups and direct messages — parents can reach a leader, and the roster is never a way to cold-message other families MADE FOR SCOUTING SAFETY • Guide to Safe Scouting quick reference built in • Scout roster stores a first name and one initial — no birthdays, no photos, and scouts never have accounts • Adults confirm they're 18+ before any feature that reaches other adults Akela+ is an independent app made by a volunteer pack leader. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Scouting America.

What's New in Akela+

2.5.0

August 24, 2026

Invite families in a couple of taps — with links that don't expire. PACK INVITES • Invite links no longer expire. Codes were quietly given a 30-day deadline, so a link shared at the start of the year had usually stopped working by the time families got round to tapping it — and the family saw "invite code expired" rather than anything they could act on. Existing codes have had their deadline removed, so a link already sitting in your pack's group text is live again. Issuing a new code from "New code" still invalidates the old one, which is how you revoke a link that has gone somewhere it shouldn't. • Invite your scouts' families straight from the roster. After you add scouts, leaving the Scouts screen offers to share your pack link with those families, so they can see the calendar, meeting plans and sign-ups without you forwarding anything again. Families join read-only — you stay in control of what the pack plans, and can promote a co-leader from Members at any time. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE • Fixed: signing in with Google on iPhone failed with "Couldn't sign in" every time, no matter how many tries — the app and Google disagreed over a security check on the sign-in token. Sign in with Apple was unaffected.
