Lion Elective Adventure Requirements


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, plus one "Preview Adventure". Five of the adventures are required for the Lion to earn the Lion badge. The remaining seven adventures and the preview adventure described below are known as elective adventures. Each adventure is designed to help your child have fun and learn useful things.

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