There are approximately 50+ boys and girls from grades K through 5 registered in the Pack. A Cubmaster leads the Pack with a Pack Committee made up of volunteers. The Pack is broken down into “Dens” according to Cub Scout ranks.
The ranks are:
• Kindergarteners – Lion Scout
• 1st Graders – Tiger Scout
• 2nd Graders – Wolf Scout
• 3rd Graders – Bear Scout
• 4th Graders – Webelos I (1st Year)
• 5th Graders – Webelos II (2nd Year)
Each den has approximately 2 – 10 scouts assigned to it. A Den leader and one Assistant Den Leader, who are responsible adult individuals from the community, principally lead the scouts. The Den Leaders coordinate and manage the dens actions and activities.
Meetings
Dens generally meet two times a month. The Den meetings are held at the St. Michael the Archangel School in downtown Silver Spring.
Throughout the year various activities are held that involve the entire Pack. Typical activities planned during a year include two camping trips, community service days, pack picnics, museum visits, hikes, and the ever-popular Pinewood Derby Races. Ideas for other activities either for Dens or the Pack are always welcome as we plan our annual calendar together.
