A bit about Scouting
A few terms and definitions that sometimes cause confusion...Den: A small group of boys in the same grade working together toward advancement. Example : A Wolf Den, A Tiger Den, A Bear Den. Dens are usually comprised of 6-10 Cubs
Patrol: Another word for den; used in Webelos and Boy Scouts. Patrols are often named, such as "Screaming Eagles", "Zeus", "Owls", etc.
Pack: All Dens and Patrols together. All boys in grades 1-5 together make up our Pack 661. Each Pack is owned by a Church, school or other organization (Rotary Club, etc).
Troop: Boy Scouts; all Boy Scout Patrols (grades 6-12) make up a Troop. Troop 366 is also at Westminster church.
