Pack 170
Wolf den

Wolf 2nd grade

Second graders take on more outdoor skill-building and start practicing everyday citizenship and safety habits.

Required adventures

The six every Wolf works on.

One adventure for each part of the program: character and leadership, the outdoors, personal fitness, citizenship, safety, and family and reverence. The den works through them together across the school year.

  1. Bobcat Wolf adventure loop

Electives

Then two the den picks.

Wolf Scouts choose their last two adventures from the 17 electives below. Dens usually pick together, based on what the Scouts are curious about and what the season allows.

This den’s schedule

The Wolf den sets its own meeting day and time after the first pack meeting of the school year, so it is not listed here yet. Pack-wide dates are on the Calendar, and a den leader can tell you the rest.

Special elective adventures

Scouting America lists these on their own because they need a certified instructor and an approved range, so they happen at council and district events such as day camp rather than at a den meeting, and there is no adventure page for them. Ask a den leader whether one of these counts toward a Scout’s two electives.

  • Archery Wolf. Target archery, earned only at an approved event with a certified instructor and a proper range.
  • Slingshot. Slingshot target shooting, earned only at an approved event with a certified instructor and range.
  • BB Guns. BB gun target shooting, earned only at an approved event with a certified instructor and range.

Where the Wolf den meets

Pack meetings bring all six dens together roughly once a month on a Tuesday at 6:30 PM, at Highland Hills Baptist Church, 1370 Briarcliff Rd, Macon, GA 31211. Den meetings are scheduled by that den’s leader.
