den activities
Cub Scouts are assigned to dens usually based on age/grade level: Lion Scouts (kindergarten), Tiger Scouts (first grade), Wolf Scouts (second grade), Bear Scouts (third grade), and Webelos Scouts (fourth and fifth grades).
During den meetings, cub scouts make new friends, participate in outdoor adventures, play purposeful games, and learn new things. Dens usually meet two times a month and these meetings are scheduled by each den leader.
