Pack 1151 Services Dominion Trail, Discovery, Steuart Weller, and Newton-Lee
Welcome New Cub Scout Families
We are so glad you are joining our pack. We know that being a new cub scout can be a little overwhelming. We have addressed the basics below to help you get started, but as always, please feel free to ask questions.
Pack 1151 Overview
Pack Organization
At the local level, cub scouts are grouped into a PACK. Each PACK has multiple DENS, which are determined by grade level and gender, as follows:
Kindergarten - Lion Den
1st grade - Tiger Den
2nd grade - Wolf Den
3rd grade - Bear Den
4th grade - Webelos Den
5th grade - Webelos/Arrow of Light Den
The pack is lead by a cub master and assistant cub master, as well as, other leadership volunteer positions. The dens are lead by den leaders. Parent attendance and involvement is encouraged for each scout at all levels, but is required for the Lion and Tiger Dens.
Each den will complete requirements throughout the year to earn advancement to the next den level. Our pack uses an online program, Scoutbook, to track requirement completion. We also post
As the cub scout program is a national program, there are multiple levels of leadership above the pack level. For more more information, visit the Boy Scouts of America page.
