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.
