All Cub Scout Indoor Training

Den Leader Position-Specific Training

for Tiger, Wolf, Bear, and WEBELOS

The Den Leader Position-Specific Training course provides Cub Scout den leaders with the basic information they need to conduct successful den meetings.

The course is intended to be conducted in a small group setting of about six to eight participants, similar to a den meeting.The course should take about two and a half to three hours to deliver. It may be offered in a single morning or evening session with a minimum of preparation necessary. It can be facilitated by unit, district, or council trainers.

This syllabus is not meant to be read verbatim. Trainers should be familiar with the content and be able to present it without reading. Experienced trainers can use their own words, but must be sure to cover the content and meet all the learning objectives of each session. Key to the success of this training is the interaction among participants. It is important for trainers to observe participants throughout the training (especially during the hands-on activities) to be sure they have learned the topic.

Training code C42 should be entered into the leader’s training records when the course is complete. Den leaders who complete this course and Youth Protection training are considered “trained” as Tiger, Wolf, and Bear den leaders or as Webelos den leaders
