Kindergartner girls and boys work toward the Lion rank. The Lion program forms a strong foundation for a lifetime of fun and meaningful family adventures. There are twelve adventures in the Lion program. Scouts must complete at least eight adventures (six required and at least two elective) to earn the Lion rank. The required adventures help the Scouts explore important Scouting ideas. The elective adventures are designed to help the Scout have fun and learn useful things. The Bobcat adventure should be completed first, but there is no required order for the remaining adventures. Although participation with an adult partner is required for all Lion awards, recognition items are for the Scouts only.
Uniform
Lion Scouts wear the official Cub Scout Lion Rank Uniform T-Shirt, Youth. All other Lion uniform items (e.g., Lion Rank Uniform Cap, Cub Scout Uniform Web Belt, Cub Scout Uniform Shirt and/or Bottoms are OPTIONAL.
Handbook
The Cub Scout Lion Handbook and Adult Partner Guide contains the official Lion handbook for the Scout, the Adult Partner Guide, and the How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide pamphlet. It is highly recommended that these books be purchased for the Scout to use during the Lion year.
