It does not matter if younger siblings are there anyway hanging out. They cannot join their sibling's scout den, period.

Cub Scouts is grade specific. Each level, bobcat, tiger, wolf, bear and Weblos, is linked to one specific grade and have specific advancements for each grade.

So even is five year old Larla is there every week hanging out at her second grad brother's den meeting, she cannot become a wolf no matter how convenient it is for mom.  And even if she follows along with everything her brother's wolf den does, she cannot be a bobcat because the 2nd graders are not working on five year old bobcat skills. They are working on wolf skills only.  The bobcats are at a different place and time working on bobcat skills.

So the argument that Larla should be allowed to become a scout because she is there every week anyway, following along with her brother's wolf den is an invalid argument and not a legitimate reason for cub scouts to become coed and let Larla join.

Unless they are twins in the same grade, Larla cannot just become a wolf Cub Scout with her brother because it is convenient.

She can't even if she were a brother or decided to identify as a boy.[/quote]

5 year old siblings can't join, no.  (Unless the pack is trying out the new Lion's den program for kindergarteners)

But apparently it is becoming more and more common for the whole pack to meet in one location, and then for dens to break off all at the same time to do their den work.   So in a pack like this, with the correct aged female siblings hanging out for the hour while all the brothers are in their dens, would be able to work in dens at this time as well.[/quote]
