Membership
Any boy between the ages of 7 an 10 or 1st through 5th grade may join. 
As members they join a Cub Scout Pack and are assigned to a den, 
usually a group of 5 to 8 neighborhood boys.

Once a month all the Boys and their parents get together at the Pack Meeting. 
A Pack Meeting, is the time the Scout receives recognition for his achievements
over the past month.
