Cub Scouts Belong to Pack and Den
As a Cub Scout you will be part of your own pack.
The pack is divided into smaller groups called dens. Each den has about six to eight boys. All of the Cub Scouts in your den are in the same grade and may even go to the same school.
The Cub Scout pack belongs to a church, a school, or some other group of people in your community or neighborhood. This group makes sure your pack has good adult leaders, a place to meet, and exciting things to do. The group gets help from the Boy Scouts of America, which is part of Scouting around the world.
Cub Scouts Do Things and Go Places
Have you been to the local Police Station and talked to the policement on duty? Or visited the Fire Station and sat in the drivers seat of the pumper truck? Or visited the local tv station and sat in the news anchors chair? These are some of the places you might go with your den or pack.
You might also: Build a Pinewood Derby car and race it on the track, build a sail boat or trimaran and race it in the rain gutter regatta or build a space ship and race it to the stars in the pack space derby.

Each time you complete an accomplishment or learn a new skill you will be rewarded. Sometimes the reward is a bead or a patch. Some times it is a smile on your parents face to see you grow and learn.
