Bob58,
I attended training school in Febuary and you are correct in saying that a den chief must be 14 yrs of age for day camp. In my pack we use den chiefs for our dens and most are not 14. I have had a den chief since my den was Tigers [we are now Bears]. The one I have now is 12 and has been with our den since we were Wolfs. He has stated that he wants to go on with my den until they cross-over. We are lucky that the Pack meets on Mondays and the Troop meets on Thursdays.
