Cub Scout

The Cub Scout Pack
The Pack is a group made up of several dens - Tiger Cub, Cub Scout, and Webelos Scout dens. Cub Scouts are boys who are in the second or third grade (or 8 or 9 years old). Cub Scout den meetings are run by an adult den leader with the help of an assistant den leader and den chief. Meeting activities are planned around monthly themes and include playing games, making handicrafts, taking hikes and other outdoor activities, and taking part in ceremonies and songs. When they complete the third grade (or reach age 10), the boys graduate to a Webelos Scout den.Most packs have a den for each grade level.
