How To Earn Den Chief Service Award

Hey guys, Mac Guzman here. This video explains how to earn the Den Chief Service Award. This recognizes scouts who serve as den chief for at least a year, understand Cub Scouting, attend den chief training, and are active. Den chiefs are Scouts who assist a Cub Scout den leader or Webelos den leader.
Here are some good points on why Den Chief is a good leadership role:
🔵 Scouting role model for Cub Scouts
🔵 Holds leadership position in troop, fulfilling an advancement requirement in the unit
🔵 Promotes Scouting/local Troop in particular to filter cubs into Troop
🔵 Encourages transition of Webelos Scouts into Scouts BSA
As a Den Chief, a scout has a responsibility to assist his or her assigned Den, and be understanding towards the younger Cub Scouts.

Tips for Starting Den Chief:
A Den Chief assists Cub Scout meetings
Get recommended by SPL and Scout Master
Get approval by Cub Master/Pack Committiee
Get approval by Den Leader of Cub level
If teaching AoL, you are more likely to have those scouts filter into your Troop
Look at the Den Leader's meeting plan beforehand
Since Spring Break, I signed up for four Merit Badges online with the Central Florida Councel. Any scout nationwide can sign up for these badges and the cost is $5 - $10 each. Please note the online classes are Monday through Thursday and start times are all Eastern Time.

The Red White Blue shoulder cord is for Den Chief Service Award and can be worn permanently. If not meeting the award requirements yet. You can wear the blue and gold shoulder cord when working with Wolf or Bear dens, or you can wear the tricolor (yellow red green) Webelos shoulder cord when working with Webelos or AOL dens. These last two cord are worn temporary while performing the den chief duties (removed if not a den chief any longer).

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thanks for the info.

Nice vid!

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thanks 🙏

[@malagu4ever856]

You have achieved so much in less than two years.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thanks 🙏

I really like the drive that you have to get your eagle rank in such a short period. On top of the fact that you’re doing KZbin channel. Being an Eagle Scout myself I would love to hear about what it’s like to be a scout in this day in age with all the changes that have come about in the last few years. Also was wondering if you are a member of your local order of the arrow loge.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

drake yeboah thanks. My dad helped me work out a plan to complete Eagle Scout when I attended my first Winter Camp. The basic plan was earning a merit badge each month for 21 months, then have 3 months to complete my Eagle Project. The hardest part of scouting today is planning events to make sure there are at least two certified adults attending. Fir example, my patrol was going to have a campout at our charter org church but could not due to lack of adults. I am looking at applying to OA in the Fall.

[@MariaGuzman]

You are super cool bro 🔥 🥇

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thanks 🙏

[@thehotcool1]

Working towards this award Only have a couple more months then I can get it

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

That’s great! How do you like being a Den Chief?

[@PoeTheSquash]

Good job Den Chief. I will not get my rope for another 5 months.😀

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thanks and congrats to you

[@Kids-Cook]

This looks like a lot of work

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Den Chief can be a lot of work, especially if you plan a Webelos-Scout Campout.. It’s good to help the AOL Webelos so it makes them more comfortable when crossing over to Scouts BSA especially if the boys come to your Troop 👍

[@SnakeRoot271]

So the blue card just came in the mail I finally got personal management

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Awesome👍 congratulations
