What is a Den Chief?
A Den Chief is a Boy Scout specially selected for his skills in areas such as camping, hiking, cooking, first aid and sports. Because of their training, enthusiasm, and exposure to Scouting they serve as a resource, team leader and a role model for the Cubs in the den.
Scouts who serve for one year as a Den Chief are eligible to receive a special award for their efforts, and service counts toward the Positions of Responsibility requirement for Eagle scout and for Star and Life scout advancement.
This is a great way for a Scout to develop leadership and teaching skills, and those scouts who participate report they find the experience rewarding and fun. Several of our scouts are currently serving as Den Chiefs in Pack 2 and Pack 303, and many have served in this role previously.
If you are interested and available, please see Mr. Chase to discuss this opportunity.
