Program focused on parent planning and delivery with youth participation
• Specifically designed, age appropriate literature for kids
• Adult Partners will learn basics of youth development

The Lion Cub Scouts is a pilot program created to introduce a new Cub Scout program for boys age 5 or in Kindergarten and their adult partners. The program is focused on parent planning and delivery with support from the Cub Scout pack using literature specifically designed for the younger age group (Lion Cub Scout Adult Guide and Lion Cub Scout Adventure Guide). The Adult Guide contains a detailed plan for each month’s curriculum and breaks down each section into Family/Den Activities, At-Home Activities and Grand Adventures.

The program was developed by the Northern Star Council and is scheduled to test for a total of 5 years. 2008-2009 was the first year of the program and included a total of 262 of Lion Cub Scouts enrolled in the program (10 from pack 477). The primary curriculum/educational outcomes are for parents/Adult Partners to learn the basics of youth development and Scouting’s proven tools for raising happy, healthy children. The outcome for the kids is to discover the fun of Scouting at an earlier age.
