Qualifications:
A teenage boy or girl, ages 14 through 17, who
helps the den leader succeed in bringing the benefits of Cub Scouting to the members of
the den. The use of den aides is optional with packs, and is usually done where it is not
possible to recruit den chiefs. Den aides are selected by the den leader, with approval
from the Cubmaster and pack committee. This is a non-registered, non-membership position
designed principally to strengthen Cub Scouting in rural and urban communities.
Responsibilities:
The den aide's responsibilities are similar to
those of the den chief, as determined by the den leader.
