The Old Hickory Council Cub Scouting program emcompasses the largest part of the council's Scouts and Scouters. The council has over 115 packs in 8 districts. That's a lot of Cub Scouts!

Cub Scouts (boys enrolled in the 1st through 5th grades) usually meet 2 to 3 times a month during the school year in small groups (5 to 10 boys) called dens.  Den Meetings are packed with fun, games, and great activities that can all be used to earn rank and activity badges.  Once a month all the dens gather at a central location for a gathering called a Pack Meeting.  Pack Meetings are where the dens can show off the skills they have learned over the last month.  Meetings are often full of cheers, songs, and skits.  The highlight of the Pack Meeting is of course the award ceremony where the Pack leader, called a Cubmaster, helps the Den Leaders present the boys with their latest ranks and activity badges.
