Unit Structure

As a parent, you play an important role in your Scout's Cub Scout journey.

Your Scout will join a Den, a small group of Scouts in the same grade level. Each grade has its own set of Adventures—fun, age-appropriate activities designed to build skills, confidence, and character. As Scouts complete Adventures, they are recognized at the next Pack Meeting and receive the corresponding belt loop or pin to wear on their uniform. After completing the required Adventures for their grade, Scouts earn their rank badge, which is also proudly displayed on their uniform.

Each May, during our Pack Meeting, all Scouts advance to the next year's den as they move up to the next grade level.

Pack Meetings

Our Pack includes all dens, from Kindergarten through 5th grade. Pack Meetings bring the entire Pack together for recognition, awards, games, activities, and important announcements for Scouts and their families.

Pack Meetings are generally held on the second Thursday of each month at 6:00 PM at:

Kennewick Church of the Nazarene

2402 S. Union Street Kennewick, WA 99338

Den Meetings

These dens are led by a Den Leader, an Assistant Den Leader, and often a Den Chief, who helps mentor the Scouts and assists with meetings and activities.

Lions & Tigers

  • Lion (Kindergarten) and Tiger (1st Grade) dens require each Scout to participate with an Adult Partner. Adult Partners attend all meetings alongside their Scout and actively participate in Adventures.
  • The Den Leader (typically a parent volunteer) coordinates meetings, and every Adult Partner is encouraged to help support the den and its activities throughout the year.

Wolves & Bears

  • Wolf (2nd Grade) and Bear (3rd Grade) Scouts continue building on the skills they learned in earlier years while taking on new, age-appropriate Adventures. For example, Wolves learn basic compass skills, while Bears begin learning knife safety through the Cub Scout Whittling program.
  • These dens are led by a Den Leader, an Assistant Den Leader, and often a Den Chief—an older Scout from Scouts BSA who serves as a mentor and role model.

Webelos & Arrow of Light (AOL)

  • Webelos (4th Grade) and Arrow of Light (5th Grade) Scouts participate in Adventures that promote greater independence, leadership, outdoor skills, and preparation for the transition into Scouts BSA.
  • These dens are led by a Den Leader, an Assistant Den Leader, and often a Den Chief, who helps mentor the Scouts and assists with meetings and activities.
