Every Cub Scout is a member of a Cub Scout Pack. A Pack is a large group of boys.

The Pack is divided into smaller groups called Dens. Each Den has about six to eight boys. All of the Cub Scouts in a Den are about the same age.

The Cub Scout Pack belongs to a church, a school, or some other group of people in your community or neighborhood. This group makes sure your pack has good adult leaders, a place to meet, and exciting things to do. The group gets help from the Boy Scouts of America, which is part of Scouting around the world.

To find out more about the program for you Scout's age level or rank, see the information below and also click on links to the left.

Bobcat Rank (first rank earned at all levels of Cub Scouting)

Tiger Den (First-grade boys join a Tiger Cub den, where each boy works with an adult partner on the requirements to earn his Tiger Cub badge.)

Wolf Den (Second-grade boys graduate into a Wolf den. Their families still help them work on the requirements for the Wolf badge)

Bear Den (Boys in the third grade are members of a Bear den. They also work with their families to do the requirements for the Bear badge, but boys this old have enough knowledge and skill to take on more of the work by themselves)

Webelos Den (Boys in the fourth and fifth grades become Webelos Scouts. Webelos Scouts do more advanced activities to get ready to graduate into Boy Scouting)
