The Dens
A Cub Scout Pack is divided into small groups of about eight boys
called dens, who meet weekly under the direction of adult Den
Leaders and, in some cases, Boy Scout Den Chiefs. The Den
Leaders are trained parent volunteers.
The den allows boys to get to know each other better and
engage in activities that would be difficult in a larger group. The
den also provides leadership opportunities for the boys as they
elect "denners" or help to teach each other.
Den meeting activities are planned around the monthly theme
and include games, handicrafts, hikes and other outdoor fun,
practicing skits and stunts in preparation for the next Pack
meeting and taking part in simple ceremonies and songs.
Sometimes work on advancement requirements is included, but
most of that work is accomplished by the boys with their parents
(see details on the Webelos rank for an exception). The Den
Leaders may ask for special help occasionally from parents
(helping with a meeting, sharing a special skill, or just providing a
snack for the boys).
Dens are organized by rank. Ranks are organized by grade and
age:
Bob Cat Den
Tiger Cub Den
Bear Den
Wolf Den
Webelos Den
