Cub Scouting is for Boys From First Through Fifth Grade

Tiger Cubs are boys in the first grade or 7 years old. They join with an adult partner, usually one of his parents. All of the adult partners share in the leadership of the Tiger Cub den, usually taking responsibility for one month's big idea. They work with the guidance and support of the Tiger Cub den leader.  A Tiger Cub den consists of six to eight Tiger Cubs and their adult partners. It meets once or  twice a month for activities built around the Tiger Cub motto "Search, Discover, Share."  Tiger Cub dens also take part in monthly pack meetings. Tiger Cub den activities are based on advancements and electives in the Tiger Cub Handbook

Cub Scouts are boys in second and third grades or 8 to 9 years old who work on their Wolf or Bear badges. They meet weekly in a Cub Scout den under the leadership of a Cub Scout den leader.  A Cub Scout den consists of six to eight Cub Scouts with a den leader and one or more assistants. It meets every week at a time and place chosen by the den leader and parents.  A Cub Scout den leader is an adult volunteer who leads a Cub Scout den, with the help of assistant den leaders and parents.  There might also be a den chief (an older Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, or Venturer) helping the den leader. All adult family members are expected to help when called upon to assist with den activities. At den meetings, the boys enjoy games, stunts, songs, crafts, and ceremonies. Many of these activities are based on a theme for that month, such as "Under the Big Top," a circus theme. Cub Scouts also take part in field trips, service projects, and outdoor activities.

Webelos Scouts are boys in fourth and fifth grades or 10 years old. They meet weekly in a Webelos den under the leadership of a Webelos den leader and assistant. A Webelos Scout den consists of six to eight Webelos Scouts . In Pack 105 it meets weekly, and is run by a "Webelos Master" (by the name of Lynn Spear) at Roosevelt School. It meets every week.  Instead of a monthly theme, the Webelos den program is built around one of the Webelos activity badges, part of the Webelos advancement program, such as Showman. Parent-son overnight camping is also an important part of the den's program. The Webelos program runs for about 18 months, after which the boys are encouraged to join a Boy Scout troop and continue their Scouting adventure.
