Den Leaders
We
currently have two Tiger den leaders, one Wolf leader, and one Webelos
leader. Over the past few weeks, you've seen the den meetings and how
they can run. My prep time for those was about 1-3 hours per den
meeting, not counting a trip to Walmart for supplies. We have resources
for you that script the meetings if you would like that much detail. I
will help you get going.
Now
is the time: we need you as parents to step up and commit to being a
den leader or assistant den leader. We need one more wolf leader (2nd
graders), two bear leaders (3rd graders), and one more Webelos leader
(4th and 5th graders). I can't sustain this on my own and we must be in
compliance with the BSA two-deep leadership policy. Parents,
grandparents, aunts and uncles, neighbors, whoever is willing can be a
den leader. If we do not get leaders we will have to consider options
such as suspending or disbanding dens without leaders or asking boys to
transfer to the Sylva pack.
Being a den leader is fun. If you are thinking about it, feel free to contact me and/or go to myscouting.org,
create an account, and take the Youth Protection Training and the
Leader Position Specific training for your boy's den. That will give
you a better idea of what is involved.
