Meetings & Activities
Den Activities: Cub Scouting is primarily facilitated at the Den level. A Den is a grade-specific group of Scouts, generally between 5 to 8 members, and is led by one or more adult Den Leaders. Dens participate in adventure activities together throughout the school year, progressing through the various Cub Scouting rank requirements, which typically culminates in late spring with each Scout earning their grade-specific rank badge. Den meetings and/or outings typically occur two to three times monthly. Den meetings generally occur on Monday evenings for an hour at HFUMC. Den outings generally occur during regularly scheduled meeting times or on weekends.

In Cub Scouting, a child can join at any grade-level and work towards earning the rank commensurate with their current grade, after earning their Bobcat Badge (typically earned by most New Scouts during their first or second Scout meeting *Note, the Bobcat Badge is earned at the 1st Grade level & above, it is not required for Lion Scouts). Once a grade-level is completed, the Scout is unable to work towards retroactively earning ranks from previous grade-levels.
Pack Activities: Cub Scout Dens of all grades meet together periodically, as a Pack. Pack meetings serve several key functions:
Pack meetings generally occur at HFUMC on the first Monday evening of each month, and are an hour to an hour and a half in duration.

Dens will be assigned specific duties such as flag presentations, leading opening ceremonies, activities setup and cleanup.
In addition to Pack meetings, the Pack typically facilitates several other activities throughout the year, which include (but not limited to):
