Dens
The Den is a small group of scouts who are all in the same grade and work together as a team to earn scouting advancements. The Den Meeting is the most important part of Cub Scouting. It is where Cub Scouts build friendships, work together to learn new things, and progress towards earning their common badge of rank.
DEN LEADER
Serving as a Den Leader is providing an opportunity to make a positive lifelong impact on your child and others in the den. Through fun activities, challenging adventures, and community service projects, Cub Scouts make new friends and discover the importance of cooperation, citizenship, responsibility, and physical fitness in their everyday lives.
