About Pack 11

Cub Scout pack 11 was started many years ago as a way for younger children to get in on the fun and excitement of Scouting!

We start with Tiger cubs in 1st grade and progress through Wolves (2nd grade), Bears (3rd grade), and Webelos (4th and 5th grades). Scouts are welcome to join at any age and are placed in the appropriate group.

Cub Scout Packs are divided into Dens that range in size, but usually have 5-8 boys. Tiger Cub Dens also have the Tiger Cub's adult partner as participants.

Den members learn age appropriate skills and enjoy many activities. Each month culminates in a pack meeting, where all the Dens come together and participate in fun activities and ceremonies. Most month’s activities revolve around a central theme. Some of the themes planned for 08/09 are Shipbuilding, Veteran's Day Parade March, Indoor Wall Climbing, Camping Adventures - and of course, the famous Pinewood Derby!

Cub Scout packs belong to larger groups called Districts and Councils. Pack 11 is in the Frontier District and is part of the Denver Area Council. Cub Scouting is for all boys in 1st through 5th grade. If you have financial concerns, please ask about camp scholarships, free dues, and ways to make Cub Scouts affordable. No one should feel that they may not participate for lack of funds!!!

Join Cub Scout Pack 11 and learn leadership skills, build good character, enjoy outdoor activities and help your community. Past activities have included camping, hiking, biking, indoor rock climbing, swimming, Pinewood Derby car races, State Capitol tour, tree planting, Good Turn Week activities and lots more.
