The Den Leaders are the ones who do the majority of the work, and who have the most fun. All adult leaders should attend Youth Protection and Cub Scout Leader Basic Training, a one-day training course organized by the council. Den Leaders should try to engage the parents in the den meetings to the greatest extent possible, both to make the Den Leader's job easier and to increase the boys' enjoyment. Cub Scouting is a family activity, and den meetings are a great place for family involvement. The Den Leader can go to the Cubmaster or Committee Chairman for advice and assistance.
Parents play an important role in the pack.
The leaders will do their best to provide a quality program, but all the leaders in Pack 344 are volunteers and have many other obligations. We depend on parents to help provide the good program we have. We ask every parent to help the pack in some capacity. You should take your share in organizing den meetings, working with the den leader of your son's den. A parent should attend the pack meetings together with the Cub Scout.
