This training is designed for Den Chiefs, Den Leaders, Scoutmasters, and Parents of Den Chiefs, to help everyone understand the role and responsibilities of a Den Chief.

A Den Chief is a Scouts BSA, Venturing, or Sea Scout youth who assists a Cub Scout Den.  But the role is far more important than those words suggest.

Den Chief Training is designed to build on 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.

This training is also intended for all adult leaders who recruit or work with Den Chiefs so that they may understand the role and how to make the best use of a Den Chief in their Den.  Den Leaders, in particular, are encouraged to attend this training as well.

Location: Camp Manatoc - Lewis Family Conference Center (lower level of the Dining Hall)
Fee: Free for GTC Scouts and Scouters as a benefit of the annual Adventure Fee

Doors open at 8:30 AM, Training begins promptly at 9:00 AM and runs until 12:00 Noon.
