About this app

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

- Try sharing your pack with families using the invite code—it no longer expires, so you can reuse it anytime.
- Invite scout families directly from your roster instead of sharing a code manually.
