Troop 99 Rochester, MN

The Den Chief works with the Cub Scouts, Webelos Scouts and Den Leaders in the Cub Scout Pack. By accepting the position of Den Chief, you agree to provide service and leadership to your troop. The responsibility should be fun and rewarding.

The Den Chief provides knowledge of games and Scout skills that many Den Leaders lack. The Den Chief is also a recruiter for the troop. This function is important because no troop can thrive without new members and most new members will come from Cub Scouting
