DEN CHIEF TRAINING

Scouts BSA youth, Den Leader, Scoutmasters, Cubmasters

        A Den Chief is a Scouts BSA youth, Venturer or Sea Scout assisting a Cub Scout den. But the story is far more important than those words suggest as the Den Chief.

       This training is designed to build on each of these ideas using a framework that will allow the new Den Chief, or perhaps the experienced Den Chief looking for new ideas, to have fun and learn the role.

       Adult leaders need to make sure the role is seen as important and necessary. In agreeing to accept a Den Chief’s assistance, they ensure the Den Chief has meaningful opportunities to support the den and assist with activities, to the best of the Den Chief’s ability. In this way, the den receives the many benefits of having a Den Chief while the Den Chief has opportunities to learn and grow as a leader and Scout.

     The training is designed for Den Chiefs. However, all adult leaders who recruit or work with Den Chiefs are encouraged to attend with them. Den Leaders should be encouraged to attend to learn how to make the best use of a Den Chief. Adult leadership from units who want Den Chiefs or are responsible for providing Den Chiefs should be invited to attend and participate in the training as well. This helps promote a full understanding of the Den Chief role, and its many benefits to the Den Chiefs, Leaders and Scout Units.
