Lions explore Cub Scouting with an adult partner through short, playful activities that build confidence and curiosity.
Lion meetings are designed for young Scouts and their adult partners. Activities are brief, active, and built around trying new things together.
Rank path
These adventures are the core path for the Lion rank. Leaders may adapt meeting activities to the den, season, and family needs.
Meet the den, begin learning the Scout Law, practice doing your best, and complete family safety conversations with an adult.
Learn the Cub Scout Six Essentials, take a short outdoor walk, and notice nature, people-made objects, and common local animals.
Explore food groups, handwashing, active play, and simple rest habits that help young Scouts care for their bodies.
Recognize family helpers, take on a small helpful job, talk about citizenship, and participate in a service project.
Practice age-appropriate personal safety, emergency help, street and parking-lot safety, and how to tell a trusted adult.
Explore family faith or values traditions, attend a meaningful gathering when appropriate, and make something kind for someone loved.
