I am a new Tiger den leader and will be taking position specific training in a few weeks. In the meantime we are moving forward with our den meetings.
My question is this: What parts of the meetings do the host parent-son teams share?
For example, I would expect the den leader to be the one to choose the opening and closing and the Discover (craft/activity) part of the meeting. Should the host team have a say in these? My thinking is that the host team would primarily take leadership in deciding where the Go See It will be. I am thinking the host team might also work with the den leader to decide how to do the craft/activity, give input on what the activity will be, and to direct the activity at the meeting.
I would welcome any thoughts you folks might have on this.

I have tried in vain to find the lyrics to a campfire opening chant/song that I heard once when I was a scout. The song includes these lyrics:
The campfire shall be lit; (clap, clap)
The campfire shall be lit; (clap, clap)
Throw another log on, the campfire shall be lit.
I think there are more verses that are sung once the fire gets going. Does anyone know the name and lyrics of this "song".

How to Share Leadership with Tiger Teams?

Thanks for the input. Scoutnut hit on something I was wondering about: I know about and use the Program Helps but what about the parents? The answer is to share it with them.
I have the first two meetings planned and will see how it goes. I wonder how eager the parents will be about stepping up to the plate and I don't want to make it so onerous that they'll drop out. After they've seen a few meetings maybe their comfort level will increase.
