Cub Scout Den Meetings
A den is a group of six to eight Scouts, within the pack, that meets several times a month between pack meetings. The Scouts in a den are usually all at the same grade level. The den structure allows Scouts to build relationships with leaders and other Scouts. The den provides opportunities for activities that would be difficult with a large group. The den also provides leadership opportunities for Scouts.
The Den Meeting Location: The location of den meetings will vary, depending on the resources of the Cubmaster or den leader. An ideal meeting place is the home of an adult leader, if there is enough room for everybody. Meetings can also be held in a basement, garage, backyard, park, town square, or the activity room of an apartment building. Some dens meet at the chartered organization's meeting place or at a local school.
Den Meeting Attendance: The den leader and assistant den leader (or another adult) attend all den meetings with the Cub Scouts (At least two adults must be present at all meetings). Tiger Cub den meetings are also attended by each Tiger Cub's adult partner. Wolf, Bear, and Webelos den meetings are often attended by a den chief, a Boy Scout or Venturer who assists the adult leaders. An activity badge counselor who has been asked to help with a specific badge may also attend a Webelos den meeting. Sometimes, a parent, guardian, or other family member might be asked to help at a specific meeting, but family members are not required to attend Wolf, Bear, or Webelos den meetings.
Being a Den Leader is an amazing experience. Remember, there is no one way to run a den meeting. If you and the Scouts are having fun, then you ran a successful den meeting. Here is a listing of available resources to help
