This section for boys, and sometimes girls, aged 8-10.511, is formed into '''Packs''' and in some countries are identified by '''Dens''', each of which will have its own leaders. All adult leaders at Cub Scout level are usually referred to by the name of an animal character from [[The Jungle Book]] series, by [[Rudyard Kipling]]. The Pack leader is often '''Akela''', with their deputy often being '''Bagheera'''. Other names are used on a more ad hoc basis, but '''Grey Brother''' is usually reserved for the Pack Senior Sixer (see below) or a regular assistant from the older Scouting groups. In American Cub Scouts, the pack leader is refered to as the Cubmaster, and any adult leader is "Akela". Given the cubscouts young age group, in some countries many Packs or Dens were lead by one of the member's mothers called a "den mother."
Within the Pack, Cubs are subdivided into groups of six. The leader of each '''Six''' is referred to as the '''Sixer''', and their deputy as the '''Second'''. Occasionally, when a Sixer reaches a level of experience where their influence may be useful to the whole Pack, that Sixer may be promoted to '''Senior Sixer''', who will have a more general role within the group.
