Cub Scouts are organized into small units called "dens", which in Pack 83 are grouped by boys that are in the same grade.  The dens are organized and named as follows:

	Tigers		Grade 1
	Wolves		Grade 2
	Bears		Grade 3
	Webelos I		Grade 4
	Webelos II		Grade 5

Dens are supervised by volunteer "Den Leaders", who are parents who help the boys pursue age-appropriate activities.

The den is where many young boys first learn about the requirements of leadership and the give-and-take associated with teamwork.

Once a month, all the dens meet for a Pack Meeting, which is a highlight for the Cub Scout's entire family. Parents see their boys interact with their friends, and the parents get the chance to meet other parents from surrounding areas, and share in their sons' successes and achievements.
