Den Chief Training

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

  • Serves as a Scouting role model for the Cub Scouts in the den, as well as the entire pack; • Promotes Scouting in general and the local troop in particular;
  • Encourages the transition of Webelos Scouts into Boy Scouting;
  • Holds a leadership position in the troop or crew, thus fulfilling an advancement requirement in the unit.
