Children are organized into specific groups called dens and meet 2-3 times per month to do Cub Scouts’ age-appropriate adventure activities with others in their den. Dens are organized by grade level and gender. All of the dens (K-5th grade) make up the larger Pack. The Pack, including families, also participates in other special events throughout the year, including service projects, Pinewood Derby®, Cub Scouting’s birthday party, and camping.
Yes! Cub Scouting operates through volunteer leadership, so your role as a parent is the secret to a successful Cub Scouting program. Parents help coordinate the activities and help run the den meetings. Learn more about how to help, volunteer, or lead
