Pack 846 Den Information
What are Dens?
Dens in Cub Scouts are small, close-knit groups of young boys and girls aged 5 to 10. Led by a parent or guardian, each den meets monthly to participate in fun and educational activities, earning awards and badges while fostering friendships and teamwork. Dens provide a supportive environment where young scouts learn valuable life skills and prepare for their journey into Boy Scouts.

About Each Den Level
Lion (Ages 5 to 6, Kindergarten): Lions are the youngest members of the Cub Scouts family. At this level, kids embark on their scouting adventure with a focus on fun and age-appropriate activities. Lions participate in games, crafts, and simple outdoor adventures that introduce them to the core values of scouting. Through exciting experiences, they develop social skills, gain confidence, and begin building a strong foundation for future growth in the program.
Tiger (Ages 6 to 7, First Grade): As Tigers, Cub Scouts dive into a world of discovery and skill-building. They work on achievements that are designed to spark their curiosity and creativity. Tigers engage in various activities that involve teamwork, personal development, and outdoor exploration. This level emphasizes hands-on learning and encourages a spirit of adventure, preparing young scouts for further challenges ahead.
Wolf (Ages 7 to 8, Second Grade): At the Wolf level, Cub Scouts delve deeper into the world of scouting. They expand their knowledge and abilities through a diverse range of activities, such as sports, crafts, and community service projects. Wolves earn elective adventures, providing them with more opportunities to explore areas of interest and earn badges. This level encourages a sense of responsibility, as scouts take on new challenges and responsibilities within their dens.
Bear (Ages 8 to 9, Third Grade): Bears take their scouting journey to the next level of excitement. With a focus on personal growth and character development, they engage in more complex challenges and outdoor adventures. Bears work towards earning additional achievements and electives, honing their skills in various areas. This level fosters leadership and teamwork, preparing scouts for their eventual transition into the next stage of scouting.
Webelos (Ages 9 to 10, Fourth & Fifth Grade): As Webelos, Cub Scouts are on the cusp of becoming Boy Scouts. The program prepares them for the more independent and advanced experiences that await. Webelos work on a series of adventures that provide a bridge between Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. They learn essential skills like first aid, navigation, and outdoor survival. Webelos are encouraged to take on leadership roles and explore potential interests in preparation for their future journey in scouting.
Each level in the Cub Scouts program builds upon the previous one, offering age-appropriate challenges and opportunities for personal growth. As children progress through these levels, they gain valuable experiences, friendships, and skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. Join us on this exciting adventure of learning, camaraderie, and discovery in Cub Scouts!
