Gold Bead - 8 - 10 pts, Blue - 4 - 7 pts, Red - 0 - 3 pts Note: Dens (2 or more boys). Games are a DEN effort. Stations are geared so that it takes TEAM effort. All station activities taken from the Wolf, Bear, & Webelos Handbooks. (Their statement - our ideas could have other sources!) Although there is no limit to the number of boys in a den, it is recommended that dens be in the 8 boy range. Larger dens could be split into two dens for the competition so all boys are able to participate in the contests.
