Lions Den
Welcome to the Lion's Den!
The Lions Den meets once a month on a Monday evening at the Middle Island Presbyterian Church (across the street from the Longwood Junior High School).
Please be dressed in full uniform unless told otherwise in advance.
A boy or girl who is 5 years old and is in kindergarten is a Lion, and his or her adventures are found in the Lion handbook. A Lion cub joins with his parent or adult guardian. This is unique relative to other ranks in Cub Scouting. Lions and their adult partners are just that, partners. They attend meetings together, go on adventures like field trips together, and complete requirements together. Lion Scouts work toward their Lion badge.
Lion Requirements
To earn the Lion rank badge, a Cub Scout must complete the following requirements,working with an adult partner:
Complete the five required adventures:
a. Lion's Honor
b. Animal Kingdom
c. Fun on the Run!
d. King of the Jungle
e. Mountain Lion
Outside of the requirements, Lion Scouts can also complete any number of seven elective adventures of their den's or family's choosing.
With your parent or adult partner, complete the exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide, and earn the Cyber Chip award for your age.*
*If your family does not have Internet access at home AND you do not have ready Internet access at school or another public place or via a mobile device, the Cyber Chip portion of this requirement may be waived by your parent or adult partner.
The adult partner acknowledges the completion of each achievement part by adding a Lion sticker for each adventure they complete in their Lion handbook. The den leader also signs each boy’s or girl's handbook (Den Leader’s OK) and records progress in the den’s advancement records.
