The Lion Animal Kingdom Adventure is a part of the Lion Cub Scouts program that teaches young Scouts about community service, emergency preparedness, and energy conservation. Through a series of activities, Lions learn how they can contribute positively to their community and how to react responsibly in different situations. This adventure is designed to instill a sense of duty and awareness in the Scouts, preparing them to be active and helpful members of their community.

Throughout this adventure, Lions explore the roles of various community helpers and discover how these individuals provide essential services that keep their communities safe and functioning. This awareness helps Lions appreciate the importance of every job and encourages respect for all professions.

    I really like your website. I have been using your site for my Cub Scout pack for the last few years and have found all the resources very helpful. BUT, lately, the ads that come up with your site have been making it very hard to use and navigate around.

    Thank you for putting this together! I have a small suggestion to correct one part: dishwashers are more efficient and save more energy and water than washing dishes by hand. I used to think the same thing!
