Lion Scouts

There is an exciting new Scouting program called “Lion” for Kindergarten-aged boys and girls that is now available. This program does not change any of the current ranks and organization of other Scouting programs. It’s unique as it reaches out to a slightly younger group of boys.

Research shows that childhood development accelerates around ages 4 and 5, about the time youth begin formal education. That’s where Scouting comes in. Like many of the BSA’s programs which supplement the learning and growth boys experience at home and in an educational environment at that age, the Boy Scouts of America has developed this program for 5-year-old Kindergarten boys and girls.
