[quote=Anonymous]^^^ Cub scouts meet once a month all together. At this big meeting, everyone is in one room, dens sit together with either a leader or usually volunteer boy scouts sitting with them,.  Awards and advancements are given and pack business is covered, so parents and families donattend but they sit in the back.

Each den (grade level bobcat, tiger, bear, wolf, weblos 1 and web 2) meet separately, at different locations chosen by the leaders, once per week on the other weeks, usually in the evening because most of the leaders are dads who were former scouts and most dads work instead of staying home.   I think Mormon scouts meet on Sundays all together at church in different rooms, but they are the only scouts I know of who do this and their packs and troops are only open to parish members (ward?)

So there will be one time per month when all the different levels of scouts get together for a meeting, but the den meetings are separate and often at separate locations.

Parents tend to stay for bobcat and tiger because the boys in those lower grades are so wild, but that tends to taper off by 2nd grade and by 3rd-4th grade it is just the leaders unless there is a kid with behavior problems or special needs.[/quote]
