Ranks Within The Pack
Pack 133 is made up of the following ranks:
Lion - Kindergartners
Tiger - 1st graders
Wolf - 2nd graders
Bear - 3rd graders
Webelos - 4th graders
AOL - 5th graders
Dens are formed within each rank. The Scouts will stay together with their den until they finish the Cub Scout program. Dens usually are made up of 6 - 10 Scouts.
At the Lion and Tiger level, the Scouts meet once or twice per month, with their Den leader and adult partner. Occasionally, one of those meetings may be a field trip or other activity.
As the Scout progresses in ranks, they are taught to be more independent. Parental involvement, although always allowed and encouraged, tapers off so that the Scout may learn to think, act and learn on their own. Den Leaders will ask for volunteers to help with certain activities and all parents are asked to volunteer to help the pack leadership.
