[quote=Anonymous]My husband is a Den leader and my boys are a Weeblo (4th grade) and a Tiger (1st grade). How much participation is needed depends on the den. Ours is pretty low key and there are 2 camping trips per year (1 night each in spring and fall), one den event and one pack event each month. There are some things the kids / families do on their own time. For K - 3rd grade there is no real requirement to do all the activities, however your child will not earn their belt loops or get their badge at the end of the year if they don’t complete the requirements. Some kids don’t care, but some kids get upset when their friends have all the stuff on their uniform and they do not. It’s only in 4th grade and older that the kids must complete the activities to move up to the next level. While there is nothing stopping you from just coming to a few activities, it’s pretty rude to the rest of the den who are working together as a team and building relationships with each other. It’s not supposed to be a drop-in activity. All the kids in my Weeblo’s den have been together since kindergarten and nearly all of them play a travel sport or multiple rec sports. They manage to work it into their schedules. [/quote]
