Lion's Pride

Cub Scouts · Adventure, Required

Lion's Pride is about your family's faith traditions and showing kindness. You'll talk with your family about what you believe and celebrate, and you'll make something cheerful for someone you love. It's a time to share what matters most to your family.

Why it's worth it

Every family has things they believe and celebrate. Lion's Pride is a chance to learn about yours from the people who know it best. You'll talk about your family's faith traditions, go to a gathering where your family shows reverence, and make something cheerful for someone you love. It's a cozy adventure that helps you understand where you come from.

Start this week

Ask your grown-up, "What's a holiday or celebration that's special to our family?"
Find photos from a past celebration and look at them together.
Get out paper, crayons, or stickers so you're ready to make a cheerful card.

Requirements · 3

Every official requirement and part, numbered to match Scouting America, in plain language. Sign off against the official wording (opens in a new tab).

Note: This adventure can also be earned by completing a religious emblem of the family's choice instead of these requirements

Requirement 1
Talk with your parent or legal guardian about your family's faith traditions; draw your favorite faith holiday or celebration
Tip: Ask your family about a holiday or celebration you share, then draw your favorite part of it.
For example: Your grown-up tells you about a holiday your family shares, like the special food, songs, or candles. You draw your favorite part, maybe the family dinner or lighting candles together.
Requirement 2
Go with your family to a religious service, or another gathering where your family shows its Family & Reverence
Tip: Go to a service or gathering with your family and notice one thing that helps people feel reverent.
For example: Go with your family to a service, prayer time, or gathering that fits what your family believes. Notice one thing people do to show respect, like being quiet, singing together, or bowing heads.
Requirement 3
Make a cheerful card or picture and hand it to someone you love
Tip: Make a card with bright colors and a kind message, then hand it to someone you love.
For example: Make a card with a drawing of you and someone you love, and a kind message your adult helps you write, like "You make me happy." Hand it to them and watch them smile.

Talk about it together

What is your favorite family celebration, and what do you love about it?
What did you see or hear at the gathering that felt special?
How do people in your family show they care about each other?
How did the person feel when you gave them your card, and how did you feel?
