Pack Organization

Every Cub Scout Pack is comprised of Dens. Dens are groups based on school grade. There are six types of Dens: Lions (Kindergarten), Tigers (1st Grade), Wolves (2nd Grade), Bears (3rd Grade), Webelos (4th Grade), and Arrow of Light (5th Grade).  All the Dens together form the Pack. The Pack may have multiple Dens for a grade if there are a large number of Scouts in a particular grade.  Scouts will work on rank requirements throughout the year and will earn the rank around the end of the school year (i.e. a kindergartener will earn the Lion rank towards the end of that year). Scouts can join at any point between during their Kindergarten through 5th grade years.
