Lion Required Adventures


The requirements in effect since 2018 were not revised in June 2022.


The Lion program forms a strong foundation for a lifetime of fun and meaningful family adventures. There are 12 adventures in the Lion program. The Five adventures described below are required for the Lion to earn the Lion badge. The required adventures help boys explore important Scouting ideas. The remaining seven adventures are known as elective adventures. Each adventure is designed to help your son have fun and learn useful things.

There is no required order for the adventures; however, it is recommend that dens complete the Lion's Honor adventure first. Dens should use local climate and other considerations to determine the best order of delivery of the adventures.
