What is a den chief and how do they fit into the Scout program?

A den chief is an older Boy Scout who assists a Cub Scout or Webelos den leader at den meetings, pack meetings, and other events. He also helps the Cub Scouts complete their advancement requirements and live up to Cub Scouting's ideals in their everyday lives. 

The Den Chief position is a win-win-win leadership role. The Den Chief has fun while performing leadership skills that earn him advancement. The Pack benefits from the additional help with running events and activities and the Troop benefits from the recruiting aspect of the position. 

In the Scout program, the Den Chief is a key means of building relationships between the pack and troop, crew or team. The Den Chief regularly reminds the boys about Boy Scouts in a positive way as he leads activities and shares his enthusiasm for Scouting with the Cub Scouts. The den chief can tell them all the outdoor activities, trips, summer camp, and opportunities for advancement they have to look forward to. When it's time to move up to a Webelos patrol or a Boy Scout troop, a Den Chief’s positive example and encouragement can be influential in the Cub’s decision making process.
