DEN CHIEFS

54 DEN CHIEF FORM

Being a Den Chief is a wonderful opportunity for older Scouts to mentor and teach younger scouts and prepare for larger leadership positions in the future. Den Chiefs are Scouts (7th grade and older) who assist a Cub Scout Den. They are selected by the Senior Patrol Leader and Scoutmaster of the related Troop; and approved by the Cubmaster and the Pack Committee for recommendation to the Den Leader. In order for Den Chief service to be successfully completed, please plan to attend at least four (4) Pack events and at least five (5) Den meetings. Coordinate with your assigned Den Leader and identify which Den meetings you will attend. To the left is the Den Chief form that we will use to track service completion.

Take Den Chief Training online or conducted by your district or council

Also, all Den Chiefs should attend training – either by signing up through this link (https://www.scouting.org/training/youth/den-chief-training/) – or via another training offered by your Scoutmaster.

For starters, please complete the online Den Chief training and email a copy of your online training certificate to hhkcubpack54@gmail.com.

DEN LEADERS

Cub Pack 54 is a volunteer-led organization. As our cubs age out of the Pack and move on to the Troop - we are looking for new parent volunteers to keep the the ship on course. We would love to discuss volunteer opportunities with parents, grandparents and other cub family members. Please reach out to hhkcubpack54@gmail.com to discuss where your interest and skills would be a good fit.

All adult volunteers in an official Pack position must register with the Northern NJ Council (NNJC), complete an online Youth Protection Training and complete a background check. Volunteers taking on a Pack Position (Den Leader, Treasurer, Cubmaster, Chair, etc) are vetted and approved for consideration by Cub Pack 54 leadership prior to application with NNJC.

Parents are enthusiastically encouraged to assist with meetings and pack events run by Pack 54 Leadership - and may do so without registration.

All Pack and Den meetings must be led by at least 2-deep leadership of registered volunteers.
