[What scouts can do] Age-Appropriate Cub Scout Activities
Cub Scouts Pack 6 Crestwood is for boys in grades Kindergarten to 5th Grade.
Boys belong to dens based on their academic grade. A den is a group of 6-8 boys led by a Den Leader and Assistant Den Leader or two co-Den Leaders. Together, the dens make up the Pack.
In order to form a den, the boys need one of their parents to volunteer to serve as the Den Leader. Take this opportunity to contribute and make a difference in the lives of your son and his friends. Become a Scout Leader.
Pack Meetings
Pack 6 Crestwood holds monthly Pack meetings from September to June on Mondays (6pm to 7pm in the Annunciation School gym. The Pack is comprised of dens. All the Pack's dens attend the Pack Meeting. Family event, all welcome.
