What's a den? What's a pack?
With new scouting families, we find the differences from the den structure to the pack structure is one of the first sticking points. Dens are smaller group of boys that are grouped together by their age/ grade in school. Very simply put; Tigers are 1st graders, Wolves are 2nd graders, Bears are 3rd graders. The Webelo den is a bit different as Webelos take a year and half to transition from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts, so Webelos can be classified as Webelos(1) which are 4th graders and Webelos(2) which are 5th graders. Our pack currently holds two set den meetings per month with at least one additional pack outing that is at times set in stone and at other times fluctuates to take advantage of fun events out in the community. 3
