Den Leader/Parent Guidebook
The Dens are the most important unit in the Cub Scouting program, and Den Leaders and parents set the tempo for the entire experience. This guidebook is the BSA doctrine for Den Leaders and Parents on how to run a Cub Scout Den. It contains:

Lions (Kindergarten) are the first experience most children and parents have with cub scouting, which can seem daunting for those who are new to the program. But Pack 637 has collected a myriad of resources and best-practices to help new Scouts and leaders and parents get over the hump. For example, we have a series of presentations for every Lion den meeting throughout the year, which parents/leaders can use to run a meeting.
