The responsibility for a Cub's advancement in Cub Scouting lies with their family and not with the pack. Most advancement requirements are done at den meetings, but many are also completed at home with family.
The Lions program is for kindergarten kids and their adult partners (usually parents, but may be other trusted adults). This program is an introduction to Cub Scouting and fun adventures. The Lion, working with their adult partner, completes requirements to earn the Lion badge. These requirements consist of an exciting series of indoor and outdoor activities just right for kindergarten-aged kids.
