Members join a Cub Scout pack and are assigned to a den, usually a neighborhood group of six to eight boys. First-grade boys (Tiger Cubs) meet twice a month, while Wolf Cub Scouts (second graders), Bear Cub Scouts (third graders), and WEBELOS Scouts (fourth and fifth graders) can meet weekly. Once a month, all of the dens and family members gather for a pack meeting at Northwood Elementary School under the direction of a Cubmaster and pack committee. The committee includes parents of boys in the pack and members of the chartered organization.
