Learning About Lions

How does a Lion Den work? What kind of Scout programs can Lions do? Every Cub Scout Pack can now recruit Kindergartners into a Lion Program!

How Lion Dens Will Work:

The Lion program year runs from September through May. At that point, they cross over into Tigers.
Like Tigers, each boy is accompanied by an adult partner who attends all meetings and outings with the boy.
There is no Lion den leader. The den follows a shared leadership model in which the adult partners take turns running the meeting and outing.
Each month the Lion den gathers twice. There is one den meeting and either an outing (open to the whole family) or a Pack meeting. Lion dens typically attend two or three pack events per month. These should be special or especially fun gatherings. You may want to consider a holiday pack meeting, blue and gold banquet, or other really special meeting.

Activities:

All Lions get the Adventure Card with their registration, which means they are able to receive all of the benefits when they book outdoor adventures!

New England Base Camp’s Open Program on Saturdays is free for all Cubs with the Adventure Card, including Lions. Come to Milton, MA or Kingston, NH to play in the outdoor activities.
