Lion Den

🦁 Welcome to Lion Scouts!

(Kindergarten | Ages 5–6)

Lion Scouts are the youngest members of the Cub Scouting program—kindergarten-age boys and girls who are just beginning their Scouting adventure!

👪 A Family-Oriented Experience

Lion Scouts participate with an adult partner (usually a parent or guardian), making it a shared journey full of fun, learning, and bonding. It's a gentle introduction to Scouting that focuses on age-appropriate activities and hands-on learning.

🧭 What Do Lion Scouts Do?

Lion Scouts meet in small groups called Dens, usually once or twice a month. They complete adventures that help them:

• Build self-confidence and social skills

• Learn teamwork and good sportsmanship

• Explore the outdoors

• Discover the values of Scouting like respect, responsibility, and kindness

Adventures include fun topics like:

• "Lion's Honor" – learning what it means to be a good Scout

• "Fun on the Run!" – making healthy choices and staying active

• "Mountain Lion" – exploring nature and the outdoors

• "Pick My Path" – learning how to make safe, smart choices

🎖️ Earning the Lion Badge

By completing a set of required adventures (and a few electives), a Lion Scout earns the Lion badge, which they proudly wear on their uniform. These early achievements set the stage for future growth as they move through the Cub Scout ranks.

🌟 Why It Matters

The Lion program isn’t just about badges—it’s about building a strong foundation for future learning, leadership, and friendship. It gives young Scouts a place to belong, to be active, and to grow with purpose—all while having fun with their families.
