@@Eagledad,
​This is an old thread but this is great advice. I'm finishing the year as a Wolf Den leader and we have 14 boy's. Halfway through this year we moved from a garage into a school multipurpose room. I started to break the Scouts into groups of 3 and rotate them around into 3 activity stations.
Our den meetings are every other week and last 1.5 hours.
It has mostly worked but I have run into an issue with the Denner program. I wasn't able to have every Scout be a Denner or assistant Denner.
I'm also concerned about the Scouts not building a close bond/comradery with the other Scouts in their Den.
I've been mulling over the idea of breaking the den into 3 smaller, permanent groups, but I wasn't sure what to call them... Den Patrols!
This will let me assign a Denner for each den patrol and let them cycle through a few times throughout the year! And I can let each group give themselves a name!
Love the idea!
Thanks (From the future!)
-Mike
