Your Scout is a Member of a Cub Scout Pack...
- A pack consists of several dens with boys and girls from different age groups. Dens meet together once a month for a pack meeting.
- The Cubmaster leads the monthly pack meeting.
- Some months, the pack meeting will have special themes such as Pinewood Derby, Blue & Gold Banquet or guest speakers. Other months may be devoted to recognizing the Scouts for the projects they have completed by the presentation of belt loops and activity pins or rank advancements.
Your Scout is a Member of a Lion Den...
- The Lion den is made up of no more than eight boys or girls who are in kindergarten or 5 years old.
- The den meets a couple of times a month. One of the den meetings each month is a fun and educational field trip.
- A parent or guardian must accompany their Lion to all meetings.
- The Lion den has an adult guide, called a Lion Guide, to help other parents with planning and den activities.
Lion Cub Scouts Complete Adventures
In Scouting, advancement is the process by which a member meets certain requirements and earns recognition. Boys and girls in Cub Scouting work on advancements with their families and at den meetings. To advance, Lions complete Lion Adventures. As these are completed, they are awarded stickers to mark their progress in their adventure book.
- Lion’s Honor
- Fun on the Run!
- Animal Kingdom
- Mountain Lion
- King of the Jungle
Once a Scout completes the requirements for theve adventures, they will be eligible to receive their Lion badge, signifying that they have earned the Lion rank and can move on to completing more adventures. The wide variety of adventures help broaden a Scout’s horizons and reinforce the aims of Scouting. Electives provide advancement opportunities and recognition for your Scout until they are eligible to begin work on the Tiger rank (boys and girls in first grade or 7 years old).
