Packs & Dens

• Scouts can join Cub Scouts beginning their Kindergarten year and continue through the program through 5th grade.

• Kindergarteners are Lions,  1st graders are Tigers, 2nd graders are Wolves, 3rd graders are Bears, 4th graders are Webelos and 5th graders are Arrow of Light or AOL for short.

• Once a Scout leaves 5th grade, they can bridge over to Scouts BSA and can join a Troop (all girls or all boys troop) 

• Each level is called a rank and each rank, such as Lions, Tigers, etc, make up a Den. 

• Each Den has usually 8 to 12 Scouts (all the same grade level) and all the Dens combined (K-5th grade) form a Pack. 

• There are two types of Scout meetings: Den meetings and Pack Meetings.   

• In Den meetings, Scouts learn and participate in activities that lead to earning that rank by the end of the Scout year (April/May)

• Pack meetings are larger meetings that bring all the Dens together for fellowship and learn what each rank is working on in their Den meetings.
