Lion Scouts is a fun introduction to the Scouting program for kindergarten-age youth eager to get going! Lions do adventures with their adult partners and other Lions every month. This program introduces youth and their families to Scouting and the outdoors as it builds a foundation of character. Everything as a Lion is done with an adult partner.
A new Lion Scout receives a Lion Handbook which guides the scout through adventures, all with guidance from the Lion's adult partner.
The Lion program provides fun, hands-on activities for scouts to learn and grow while having a good time with their friends and family. The scout and adult partner do every part of the program together under the facilitation of a Lion Guide. The Lion den meets once a month to do things separately from the rest of the pack. These den meetings are done at a place and time convenient for the den members. The Lion den also joins all the other scouts to participate in a Pack meeting once a month. Meeting sounds pretty boring, but a good scout meeting is active, fun, and interesting. The 30-45 minutes meeting should be packed with games, activities, and safe adventure.
To earn the Lion badge of rank, you must complete six required Adventures and any two elective Adventures.

The Lion Uniform
The Lion Cub Scout uniform has the following parts:
Shirt: The official Lion t-shirt.
Belt: Official navy-blue web belt with metal buckle.
Cap: Official navy-blue Lion cap.
Neckerchief: Optional Lion neckerchief. The Lion den decides if they will wear the neckerchief.
Neckerchief Slide: Optional Lion neckerchief slide.
Official uniform pants, shorts, or shorts, and Cub Scout socks are optional. Use of these items for Lions is decided by the den leader and families in the den. There is no uniform inspection sheet for Lions.
The Lion Uniform is the Lion T-Shirt and an optional hat. Unlike the other Cub Scout years, there are no patches to buy or attach to the uniform.
To get an idea of pricing, or to order these items online, visit http://www.scoutshop.org. This is the official online scout shop. They should have the same prices as our local scout shop; however, purchases at our local shop support our council while on-line purchases do not.
Where to Purchase Items
You can purchase items at the Scout Shop in Miami Lakes. Note that purchases made at our local scout shop will help support the South Florida Council, while on-line purchases do not. Please support Florida scouting and buy local!
Wearing the Uniform
In general, every Cub Scout should wear their uniform to all Cub Scouting activities, including den and pack meetings, unit outings, and any activities done with members of the den or pack. There are two types of uniforms for scouts.
Class A Uniforms is the official cub scout uniforms, that is frequently worn in meetings and other Cub Scouting activities. When playing sports, going to camp, or participating in other physical activities, we have an activity shirt. These are referred to as Class B Uniforms. Class B shirts for youth and adults can be purchased as a pack.
Pack leaders will provide advance notice of any occasion when the youth should wear anything other than the complete uniform.
Here are some tips for wearing the uniform:
DO keep the uniform clean and in good repair. The official uniform is a sturdy, machine-washable garment that will last for years with proper care.
DO be sure to wear the complete uniform. A Cub Scout wearing a complete uniform gives him/her a sense of a unit.
DO NOT wear non-BSA badges, awards, or insignia on the Cub Scout uniform or make any alterations to the uniform or insignia.
DO NOT mix uniform parts with non-uniform clothing, such as wearing a uniform cap with other clothing. With the exception of the neckerchief, the uniform should be treated as a unit -- worn in its entirety or not at all.
YOU MAY wear the neckerchief alone with other clothing.
Any time you are uncertain about uniform regulations, ask the den leader for guidance.
