Lairs and the Cub Pack
A small group of Cub Scouts makes a Lair and that the Lairs form a Pack. Each Lair is comprised of a mixture of the three age groups (grade levels) of Cub Scouts so that everyone can learn from each other. The Cub Scouts pick a name for their Lair. All the members of the Lair may wear a colour patch on the right sleeve of their uniform. While Lairs may be named by the patch colour, the Lair name is up to the creativity of the Lair.
In keeping with the Jungle Book theme, each age group (grade level) of Cub Scouts is named for a wolf characteristic.
