It’s that time of year again when new scouts are coming in, new dens are formed, and new den leaders are recruited.

After spending time as a unit commissioner for several Cub Scout packs, I realized the immediate help new den leaders needed, especially new Tiger Cub den leaders.

So I put together a little training resource that I give to new Tiger den leaders in my pack, and I give them out to other packs that I serve. I hope you as a Cubmaster or committee member understand how important the Tiger Cub den is to the life of the pack. This is where you recruit new leaders and new committee members.

Give this guide to you new leaders, and make sure you get them to training as soon as possible.
