Each Cub Scout is a member of a Den. A Den is a group of kids of the same grade level and Cub Scout rank. The Den is run by a Den Leader and an Assistant Den Leader, typically parents of a child in the Den. The Den is the primary unit where Cub Scouts work on rank requirements. Dens meets once or twice a month. Each den is associated with the rank the scout will achieve at the end of the scouting year (June 1).

The Pack is a complete collection of Dens encompassing all the ranks of Cub Scouts. The Pack meets once a month for a Pack meeting or other major Pack event. At the Pack meeting your Scout receives their awards, interacts with kids of different ages, learns about the world around them and participates in fun activities. The Pack meeting is run by the Cubmaster and the Assistant Cubmaster.
Administration of the Pack is performed by the Pack Committee. The Committee is chaired by the Committee Chair and is made up of various adult leaders from the Pack. These leaders include the Committee Chair, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Popcorn Kernel, Assistant Popcorn Kernel, Cubmaster and Assistant Cubmaster. The Committee plans the Pack events and makes sure that the Dens are staying on track to advance rank. The Committee performs record keeping, manages Pack finances, orders badges, maintains Pack equipment, helps train leaders, and plans activities.
The Pack is owned by a Chartering Organization. The Chartering Organization supports the Pack and ensures that the Pack is run in accordance with the policies set forth by BSA. The Chartering Organization also provides a Charter Representative to assist the Pack as needed. Our Chartering Organization is Broadneck Scouting Association, Inc.
