Welcome to the Lion Den!
We are excited to start a new year with a new group of Lions and are welcoming more kindergarten age children (5 years old). If you are interested in joining, please email one of the pack leaders or complete the online registration here. We are excited to meet you, your family, and your new cub scout.
What is a Lion?
Information from usscouts.org: WELCOME TO CUB SCOUTING: EARNING THE LION RANK
The Lion program forms a strong foundation for a lifetime of fun and meaningful family adventures. There are 12 adventures in the Lion program. The Five adventures described below are required for the Lion to earn the Lion badge. The required adventures help children explore important Scouting ideas. The remaining seven adventures are known as elective adventures. Each adventure is designed to help your child have fun and learn useful things.
There is no required order for the adventures; however, it is recommended that dens complete the Lion's Honor adventure first. Dens should use local climate and other considerations to determine the best order of delivery of the adventures. Need to update your scout's achievement status? Submit their accomplishment in Scoutbook.
