No, I have had no response until you right now. I too discovered nothing online.

You're going to need a handful of things. First you will need council permission to hold joint unit events (joint den meetings count as joint event). Both units will need to provide 2 registered leaders per event. So assuming you are holding joint den meetings you will need 4 leaders, 2 from each unit.
