During the promotion ceremony, each den, a group comprised of between 6 and 8 boys, was called up individually to receive new handkerchiefs which the boys wear around their necks as part of their uniforms. Proud parents accompanied their children to be recognized by the assembly. Cub Scouts has five levels, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos 1 and Webelos 2 which are for boys from first to fifth grade.
