ACTIVITIES

ABOUT CUB SCOUTS

The Pack

The Cub Scout pack is made up of all the dens, which meet monthly at the pack meeting, led by the Cubmaster. There are games, skits, songs, ceremonies, and presentations of achievements and badges that Cub Scouts earned during that month. This is where families can see the achievements of their Cub Scout.

The Dens

Dens are groups made up of scouts in the same grade. Dens meet a few times a month to work on adventure loops and other tasks required to earn their Rank each school year
