What Are Packs And Dens?

Cub Scout packs are made up of dens. These are small groups of Scouts who are in the same grade or are the same age. This is the group Cub Scouts meet most frequently. There are several dens in a “pack.” As packs meet, kids of a wider range of ages showcase what they’re learning in their dens. That means outdoor fun, skits, games, songs, and award ceremonies happen with a wide variety of Cub Scouts and their families. Cub Scouts have a lot of fun together and work alongside one another, their leaders, and their families to grow into well-rounded young adults. As they work toward the culmination of the Cub Scout program, they are prepared to become members of a Scouts BSA troop and face even more exciting challenges and adventures.
