What is a Pack vs. Den?

Pack: A Pack is the larger group that encompasses all Cub Scouts, typically ranging from Kindergarten to 5th grade. The Pack is the overarching unit that includes all Dens. It is led by a Cubmaster, who is responsible for organizing Pack meetings and activities, and ensuring that the program is delivered effectively. The Pack meets once a month and includes all Cub Scouts, their families, and leaders. Pack meetings are designed to be fun and engaging, often featuring activities, ceremonies, and presentations that recognize the achievements of the scouts.

Den: A Den is a smaller group within the Pack, usually consisting of scouts who are the same age or grade. In Wyoming, each Den has around 20 scouts and is led by a Den Leader, who is often a parent of one of the scouts. The Den Leader operates as a Project Manager, where the Den Leader sends out email communications for the Den Meetings, schedules meetings, and makes sure each den meeting is led by an adult volunteer. Den Meetings are held once a month and focus on specific activities and achievements that are age-appropriate.

What is a Rank vs Adventure?

Rank: A rank is like a level in Cub Scouts that matches the scout's age or grade. As scouts grow older, they aim to complete the tasks needed to achieve their next rank, starting from Lion and moving up to Arrow of Light.

Adventure: An adventure is a fun activity that helps scouts learn new skills. Completing adventures helps scouts earn their rank and involves doing specific tasks related to different themes.
