The link below is to a CD image (.iso file) of documents related to den chief training that was put together by Gary McKinley of Troop 451. He gave us permission to post this and share with others. There is a powerpoint presentation along with other documentation that may be helpful for groups looking to reinforce the training for their den chiefs. The documentation here was used to put on Troop-level den chief training program.
