I would definitely suggest trying it. Our two boys are in 2nd grade and this is their 2nd year so they are Wolfs. Husband is the Den leader and I am the pack mother. Our Den belongs to a Pack which is all the Cub Scouts out of our school. The Pack plans lots of activities along with the council. AS a Den we work on the trail for completing the requirements for the rank. We meet about once every three weeks, depending on the number of Pack and Council activities. We are getting ready for first full family encampment in three weeks at the Boy Scout camp in Mississippi. Now I have to go and buy a tent for five….

How it goes will depend on the Den he is in, how well he gets along with the kids in his Den, how activity the pack is, how good the leaders are. Our Den does have a lot of parent participation which makes it even better. We have 10 boys in our Den all from the 3 second grade classes at school so they all now each other and where together last year as wolves.

It also gave me a chance to meet other parents. Working fulltime I really don’t meet many of the other parents from school so this also gives me so friendship with parents in the same area,

I also do girl scouts with my Daughter, guess who is the co-leader???.

Good Luck - definitely give it a try.
