2. Sometimes a boy becomes a little overbearing. You may have to tone him down a bit, and make clear to him that one mark of a good leader is to lead in such a way that folks like to follow.
3. Make the election of a Denner an important matter. Discuss it thoroughly. Make clear to the boys that the boy they elect will definitely be their leader once he is elected and they are then expected to follow him.
4. Recognize the Denner. A bit of recognition will make his leadership more helpful.
5. The Den Chief and the Den Mother should see that the Denner has a happy experience. If the boys do not follow his leadership, it will tend to discourage him from further leadership efforts.
