Note: Dens (2 or more boys). Games are a DEN effort. Stations are geared
so that it takes TEAM effort. All station activities taken from the
Wolf, Bear, & Webelos Handbooks. (Their statement - our ideas could
have other sources!)
Although there is no limit to the number of boys in a den, it is
recommended that dens be in the 8 boy range. Larger dens could
be split into two dens for the competition so all boys are able
to participate in the contests.
