"Cub Scout RT492

Den yells help build den spirit and enthusiasm and can be used to help the boys let off steam at den and pack meetings.

Den yells are usually simple and rhythimic and often end on a word or phrase which the boys can shout.

Many high school and college cheers can be adapted for den yells. When the boys help develop the den yell, they feel it is really theirs and will enjoy using it.

Here are sample den yells:

Den One! Den One! Is there a better den? None! What den has the most fun? One! Den One! Den One!	Who is the best in the Valley of the Sun? We are, we are, we're Den One! Who are the Cubs that have the most fun? We are, we, the Cubs in Den One!
	Den five is our pack's pride. We're the best there is alive! Heck, we're so good, and we're so great! We're the best in all the States!!!
We'll do our best for the gold and blue! We ARE the best! Den Two! Den Two!	Climb up the mountain, Sail the ocean blue. you'll never find a better den Than our Den Two!
	Crafts, games, skills, and skits. Den Three, den three makes a hit! Yeah, Den Three.
We're the Cub Scouts from Den 3, And no Cubs could be prouder! If you can't hear us now, We'll yell a little louder! (repeat twice, louder each time) The Golden Spread Council Homepage	When you like what you see, When you holler for more; The Den that you want, Is none other than Four! Yeah, Den four!
