How is Cub Scout Organized?

How is Cub Scouts organized?

As a Cub Scout, you’ll be part of your own pack, which consists of fellow scouts and their families. The pack is divided into smaller groups called dens, each comprising about six to eight Cub Scouts of the same grade level. These dens often include classmates, making it even more exciting! Cub Scout Pack 29, affiliated with a community organization, ensures you have great adult leaders, a meeting place, and a plethora of thrilling activities lined up. Get ready for an adventure! 


Dens

A small group of Cub Scouts who are the same gender and in the same grade.  The ideal size is 6 to 8 Cub Scouts. 

Den Leaders

An adult, usually a parent, serves as a Den Leader. They carry out the activities related to adventures as they are presented in the Cub Scout’s handbook and the Den Leader Guide.

Pack

The pack is made up of several dens.  The make up and size of the pack varies based on local interest and resources. Each pack is identified by a number.
