New from 2023 National Meeting. They just announced at the National BSA meeting that co-ed dens are now authorized for every level of Cub Scouts through Webelos (4th grade). AOL Dens (5th grade) are to remain single-gender for now.
This is not mandatory for Packs. Packs can continue with all girls or all boys dens. They could also have three types of dens for the same level of program--coed, girls, and boys. Packs still have the option to be all boy packs, all girl packs, or co-ed packs.
The spokesman said that in the "test program" conducted over the last year, the co-ed dens had a higher membership rate than single gender dens.

Effective Sept. 1, 2023, Cub Scout packs who are conducting their own overnight camping activities may now camp up to two consecutive nights.
This is a change from the earlier policy on pack unit-coordinated camping, which was previously limited to single overnight experiences.
The updated policy also applies to Webelos and Arrow of Light dens, who can now conduct campouts for up to two consecutive nights.
A unit-coordinated campout is one that is entirely planned and executed by the leaders and parents in a Cub Scout pack, and not by the unit’s district or council. That means the pack or unit adults are solely responsible for organizing transportation and activities at the campout, and ensuring that all BSA rules are followed. This includes having at least one registered adult leader trained in Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) who oversees the planning and is in attendance for the pack campout.
ALL Cub Scout level camping MUST be held at a location approved by council.

Joining a new Scout unit can be a little overwhelming at first. You’re presented with a calendar full of fun upcoming activities, but all the new people, places and things can seem like a lot to digest.
Fortunately there’s help. It comes in the form of a volunteer whose job is all about making new members feel right at home.
Every unit needs a
New Member Coordinator!
