A den is a group of 5 to 8 boys of  the same age who meet weekly to work on rank advancements, plan events, go on field trips and have fun together.  They are led by an adult called a Den Leader and  occasionally a Boy Scout assist- ant called a Den Chief. Several  dens make up a pack.

Ranks are the achievement that  each similarly-aged boy works  toward.  Boys in 1st grade work on their Tiger Cub achievements, 2nd  graders work towards the Wolf rank, 3rd graders attempt to earn their Bear badge and 4th and 5th graders work towards Webelos and their Arrow of Light

Besides the requirements for rank advancement, Cub Scouts have a lot of opportunities for awards and recognition.  Religious Emblems, the Sports and Academics Program, Segments and Family Awards are some of the programs that the Pack uses. An Achievements page is under Construction
