What are Lion Cub Scouts?
The BSA established the Lion Cub Scout program to introduce kindergarten-age youth and parents to all the fun in Scouting. The program's goal is to help young children develop communication skills, and problem-solving abilities and sow the seeds of leadership. Lions work together through fun, hands-on activities the whole family will enjoy! And they'll never leave the supervision of a Lion Guide. Over a single school year, boys and girls will get the opportunity to prepare for their Scouting journey.
Is Lion Cub Scouts a Family Oriented Program?
You should note that Cub Scouts in general is Family oriented. The Lion Cub Scouts is a program where parents will need to accompany their Scouts to meetings and activities. To address the needs of younger boys and girls, the program was designed to be family-oriented. For this reason, parents should expect to be involved with the Lion Scouts on a consistent and regular basis and thus, should plan accordingly. If you are a Cub Scout parent, you or another parent should plan to accompany your little one on group outings and field trips! Lions typically meet up to twice a month, and most gatherings tend to last anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour.
How Often Do Lion Cub Scouts Meet?
One of the great things about Lion Cub Scouts is that it can work around your family's busy schedule! Den meetings typically vary in time and location. It all depends on the plans of den members and what times are most convenient for everyone to meet. You should expect the Lion den to meet at least once a month for 45 minutes to an hour so that it won't consume a large chunk of your time. During each den meeting, Lions and parents will get the chance to interact with each other, play games, and perform various indoor and outdoor activities under the guidance and supervision of a Cubmaster. Although you may not immediately realize it, Den meetings are a great way to encourage socializing and promote teamwork among children. Site designed and built by Shon Price
