The Den Chief is the Key for having the best possible Scouting experience for Cub Scouts transitioning into Boy Scouts. The Den Chief works alongside the Cub or Webelos Den Leader. He is a role model for the Cub Scouts, an assistant to the Den Leader and a friend to the boys once they become Boy Scouts. By taking the training and meeting the requirements as outlined in the Den Chief Handbook, he is eligible for the Den Chief Service Award.

All Scouts attending should complete the Online Den Chief Training:

This will be an enhanced training with additions of the EDGE method and how to lead portions of den meetings/campouts.
