Find Your Den

Den Info

Scouts are grouped by grade into dens, and each den works toward its own rank across the year. Find your scout's grade below and step into their den—or read the full advancement overview in the Parents' Guide.

THE LION DEN

Kindergarten

Welcome to the very start of the trail. Lions are our kindergarteners, and this first year is all about discovering what Scouting is—together.

Every Lion works alongside a parent or guardian partner at meetings and outings, so you're not dropping your scout into something new, you're doing it with them. Expect short, playful adventures, a lot of firsts, and the beginning of a friendship group that often lasts all the way to Arrow of Light.

What is expected of my Lion Scout and me?

Parents are expected to attend all meetings and participate with their Scout!

While Lions, parents are also expected to consider their talents and volunteer to plan and lead at least part of an adventure.

What do we need?

Each Scout needs to purchase a Lion t-shirt, neckerchief, and workbook from the Scout Shop
With your Scout, complete the exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent's Guide
Complete a Medical Form, Parts A and B, for every participating member of your family
