The Den Meeting is the most important part of Cub Scouting. It is where Cub Scouts build friendships, work together to learn new things, and progress towards earning their common badge of rank. Serving as a Den Leader is providing an opportunity to make a positive life long impact on your child and others in the den.

Pack 654 is a volunteer-run organization that depends on the valuable time of parents who sign up to be leaders. Without your leadership there are no dens, so we sincerely thank you for the time and effort it takes to volunteer.
