Lion Kindergarten
A kindergartner and an adult partner explore Scouting together for the first time, earning loops for simple, guided activities.
The six every Lion works on.
One adventure for each part of the program: character and leadership, the outdoors, personal fitness, citizenship, safety, and family and reverence. The den works through them together across the school year.
Bobcat LionThe adventure every Lion starts with: the Scout Oath and Law, the sign, the salute, and the handshake.
Fun on the RunLions try out the food groups, get moving with active games, and find out why rest matters too.

Then two the den picks.
Lion Scouts choose their last two adventures from the 14 electives below. Dens usually pick together, based on what the Scouts are curious about and what the season allows.
This den’s schedule
The Lion den sets its own meeting day and time after the first pack meeting of the school year, so it is not listed here yet. Pack-wide dates are on the Calendar, and a den leader can tell you the rest.
Build It Up, Knock It DownLions build a structure on their own, then build one as a team, and knock them both down.
Champions for Nature LionA conservation adventure Scouts do worldwide, wrapped up with a service project.
Count On MeLions and their adult partners hunt for geometric shapes and learn to name them.

Special elective adventures
Scouting America lists these on their own because they need a certified instructor and an approved range, so they happen at council and district events such as day camp rather than at a den meeting, and there is no adventure page for them. Ask a den leader whether one of these counts toward a Scout’s two electives.
- Archery Lion. Target archery, earned only at an approved event with a certified instructor and a proper range.
- Slingshot. Slingshot target shooting, earned only at an approved event with a certified instructor and range.
