(2nd Grade) Wolf Scouts have advanced activities to achieve compared to the Tiger scouts. Starting with Wolf, scouts are encouraged to be more independent and work with fellow den members on advancements. As a Wolf Scout and older, BSA documents state specifically that a parent/guardian is not required to attend Den meetings. However, being a Den Leader can be a very time consuming activity which may require the help of parents. Some Den Leaders may elect to have Akelas attend certain meetings or activities. Please remember, although presence is not required, this is a family program.
