Den Leadership and Program Planning Principles: Advance planning in the key to success in any venture, including Cub Scouting. We'll discuss scheduling, organizing, planning and budgeting den activities that support and build character, citizenship, and fitness; working in concert with your pack’s program and aims; and helping your scouts make progress toward rank advancement; while everyone is having fun!   We’ll cover how to work as a scouting team with parents and families, how to put the “outing” in “scouting,” and how to effectively share leadership with others to improve the quality of the den program.
