Kindergarten

Youth who are kindergarten age and a parent, guardian, or other caring adult approved by the parent or guardian in accordance with BSA policy may join the Lion program. Unlike other Cub Scouts, these youth do not begin with the Bobcat rank. Like other Cub Scouts, however, they earn the Lion rank by completing Adventures.

Lion Uniform

Kindergarten-aged youth start their Cub Scouting in a simple blue t-shirt with Lion logo, Lion cap, and blue Cub Scout belt. They may also wear an optional yellow Lion neckerchief and slide, blue Cub Scout pants, and blue Cub Scout socks.

Even though their uniform is not as formal as older scouts, it is an important part of the Scouting program, especially for the youngest ones just starting their boy scout trail. It identifies the scouts and adults as being members of the Lion den, the pack, and the Boy Scouts of America. Scouts enjoy wearing their Lion uniform. They should wear it to den meetings, pack meetings, and special pack activities.
