| Den
Meetings
Tiger Dens usually meet two or three times a month. Their
Den Meetings include the Scouts and their Adult Partners.
Each Den has a volunteer Den Leader, but all Adult Partners
work cooperatively to plan and host the meetings. Typically
each Scout/Partner team is assigned an activity from the Tiger
Cub Handbook to plan and host. These gatherings are often
outings to local points of interest.
Wolf, Bear, and Webelos
Den Meetings are usually held once a week for one to 1½
hours. Den Meetings can be held at a Leader’s home,
school, church or other venue depending on the activity. Although
the Den Leader and Assistant Den Leaders are responsible for
coordinating and running the Den Meetings, each Scout’s
family will play an active role in the Scout activities, at
the meetings and at home. There must always be two (2) adults
present at all meetings and activities. The activities at
the Den Meetings vary widely from games, crafts, skills work,
field trips, etc. The National organization sets a theme for
each month and the Den Meetings may center on this theme or
one of the achievements in the rank book.
Typically achievements
towards earning the Wolf or Bear badges are done by the Scout
with their family at home. The Den may do some achievements
as part of their regular meeting, however most are oriented
to be done with the family. Webelos Den Meetings typically
involve completing the various requirements of the Webelos
badge, activity badges or progress towards the Arrow of Light.
