The Bear Den is made up of third graders or boys who are 9 years old.
Den meetings are planned and run by an adult den leader, with the help of an assistant den leader and den chief. A den leader coach works closely with all den leaders, coordinating den activities and plans for pack meeting participation and providing training and support.
Den meeting activities are planned around the monthly theme and include playing games, making handicrafts, taking hikes and pursuing other outdoor fun, practicing skits and stunts in preparation for the next pack meeting and taking part in simple ceremonies and songs. Somnetimes work on advancement requirements is included.
