Lion Den

Message from the Den Leader:

Welcome new Lions! A note to parents, this is a young age so parents are required to stay and I ask that you participate, it will make the experience more fun for you and your scout!

Below you will find general requirements, but can discuss in more detail at meetings. I look forward to meeting you and your scout!

Lion Requirements

As a Kindergartner your child is ready to absorb all sorts of fun information. Hands-on projects and moving around are all part of the Lion program and a great introduction into Scouting. Below is the BSA's official word on the Lion Rank, read on to learn more information:

"Kindergartners work toward the Lion rank. The Lion rank is earned by completing five adventures as described below. Although participation with an adult partner is required for all Lion awards, recognition items are for the Scouts only.

1. Complete the five required adventures:

  • Lion’s Honor

  • Animal Kingdom

  • Fun on the Run!

  • King of the Jungle

  • Mountain Lion

2. With your parent or guardian, complete the exercises in the pamphlet entitled How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide.

Outside of the requirements, Lion Scouts can also complete any number of seven elective adventures of their den’s or family’s choosing" (BSA, 2020).
