Scouts have some good ideas for building dens here 

Or if you want to make a shelter…!

If you want to make den building more challenging, agree on what would make a good den.

“How many people should be able to fit inside? ”

“Can we make this den completely waterproof?”

“What sort of slope do we need on the roof to make water run off quickly?”
