Tiger Den (1st Grade)
Tiger is the first full year of Cub Scouting. At Pack 3963, Tigers begin developing independence, teamwork, and confidence through fun, hands‑on adventures. Tigers learn by doing — exploring the outdoors, building simple projects, and discovering new skills with the support of their families and den leaders.
Pack 3963 meets at Eden United Church of Christ, located at 5051 W Gunnison St, Chicago, IL 60630.
