The Wolf dens have our second graders. Third graders form the Bear dens. Fourth and fifth graders advance to being Webelos. The Boy Scouts are organized into troops and patrols. An important concept of Boy Scouts is that the youth will learn to lead themselves.
Most dens meet weekly, except when there is a pack meeting.
At least two adults are required to attend each den meeting. In Pack 861, each den has a designated den leader, but the parents may take turns in organizing the weekly den meetings. Usually on the second Friday of the month . Pack meetings are for all the boys of Pack 861. We expect a parent or the whole family to attend the pack meeting.
