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.
