Would you like to help teach them how be Scouts and model living the Scout Oath and Law?  Do you want to give back to the pack that made you the Scout you are today?  Do you need a position of responsibility for rank advancement?  If any Scout, Rank 1st Class and above is interested in being a Den Chief, please contact Mr. Vieux at the troop meeting or by email at tjvieux@gmail.com.
