Pack 169's Dens

The Pack is divided up into 5 Dens, each of which is comprised of members (usually 6 to 8 boys) from a specific age and school grade level.  Each Den has their own requirements to work through that are specific to the boys' age and grade level and help them learn more about themselves, each other, citizenship, and the world around them.

The Bobcat Badge

 
Regardless of age or grade, each new boy entering Cub Scouts MUST complete the seven requirements to achieve their Bobcat Rank Badge. These requirements introduce boys to the basics of Scouting from the Cub Scout Salute, Cub Scout Handshake, and Cub Scout Sign to the foundations of Scouting, including the Cub Scout Motto: "Do Your Best," the Scout Oath, and the Scout Law.
