Lion Den
​(Kindergarten)

The Lion Cub program has exciting indoor and outdoor activities specifically designed for kindergarten age youth and their adult partner. Adult partners (guardians) are there to support and guide, allowing the new Cub Scout to discover risks and rewards under the security of adult supervision. Lion Cubs learn by doing.

At the conclusion of their kindergarten year, the Lion Cub will transition to Tiger Cubs and continue on to even more exciting and educational adventures through Cub Scouting.
