Part of a Cub Scout pack
Answer:
DEN
Hint:
Think of where a group of young wolves—or Cub Scouts—gather for meetings and activities. It’s smaller than the whole pack but still a close-knit unit.
Explanation:
In Cub Scouts, kids are organized into smaller groups called "dens," which is why the clue points to "DEN." The wordplay is straightforward—it’s a direct reference to the structure of a Cub Scout pack, where each den is like a team within the larger group. Think of it like a wolf pack, where the "den" is where the younger members gather.
