PACK 172
    National Den Award
 
 
  Cub Scouting happens in the den. If den meetings and activities are successful, then Cub Scouting is successful. The award is earned by dens as a team, not by individual members of the den. The recognition is a blue ribbon for the den flag or den doodle.

The National Den Award provides an incentive for a year-round fun, quality program in the den. It may be earned only once in any 12-month period. The period (charter year, calendar year, etc.) is to be determined by the pack committee.

 
  Requirements:
  ____ A.   Have at least 50 percent of the den's Cub Scouts or Webelos Scouts attend two den meetings and one pack meeting or activity each month of the year.
 
  ____ B.   Complete six of the following during the year:
    ____ 1.   Utilize the denner system within the den.
    ____ 2.   Have 50 percent of the den go on three field trips per year. A field trip may be used in place of a den meeting.
    ____ 3.   As a den, attend a Cub Scout day camp, Cub Scout or Webelos Scout resident camp, or a council family camping event with at least 50 percent of the den membership.
    ____ 4.   Incorporate at least three Ethics in Action activity modules in den meetings during the year.
    ____ 5.   As a den, participate in at least one of the Cub Scout Sports programs.
    ____ 6.   As a den, participate in at least one of the Cub Scout Academics programs.
    ____ 7.   Have 50 percent of the den participate in a den conservation/resource project.
