The cub scout pack is divided into smaller units called Dens based on the age of the scout.  These meeting times are flexible and are typically established by the den to accommodate the den parents schedules.

   The Tiger Cub Den is for scouts in the 1st grade.  Tiger cubs get to go on special adventures once a month called "Go See Its".  These have included such things as trips to farms, radio stations, fire stations, and other local sites that expand the scouts appreciation of the community.  The den meetings are usually filled with fun songs and crafts
 
 

The Wolf Cub Den is for scouts in the 2nd grade.  These scouts are ready to start exploring the importance of responsibility and citizenship.  Scouts learn how to perform flag ceremonies and be responsible for your environment.
 

The Bear Den is for scouts in the 3rd grade.  The bear trail introduces the scout to leadership roles.  Each scout in the den will have a term as a "Denner" or "Assistant Denner"  where they take an active role in leadership of the den.  The bears focus their learning and activities on Faith, Country, Family, and Self.
 
Webelos is a 20 month program for 4th and 5th grade boys to prepare to join a Boy Scout troop while learning outdoors skills and participating in 20 different activity badges. A well-run group of Webelos is a gradual change from being an 'adult-run' den to being a 'boy-run' patrol ready to fit right into an adventurous scouting troop. This migration requires the parents and den leaders to give the scouts more and more control, decision-making power, and responsibility as they progress in skills, abilities, and maturity. A good program also provides the scouts with many opportunities to grow in the Webelos Virtues.
 

The highest award in Cub Scouts is earned by Webelos that have been active participants in their den and are ready to join a Boy Scout troop.
