Lion Den

The Lion Den is comprised of kindergarten-aged kids. This is the youngest that a boy can be to join the Cub Scouts.

The requirements for this den are fairly light and easily achievable, but it gives your child a great introduction into the world of Scouting.

Lions participate in ALL pack activities, including camping, pinewood derby, etc.

At this age, a parent or designated guardian must attend all Scouting events with their child.
