bearess 70 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I've lurked for a while, and commented on some threads, so I thought I should introduce myself! I have two sons, a 5 yo and a 9 yo. We live in a small town in New England. My 9 y/o is a AOL Cub, and my 5 y/o is a Lion. I'm the Lion den leader. I've lurked long enough to know the Lion program isn't popular here, but he's loved it! . 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Stosh 3452 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Welcome to the forum, Noticed your posts, glad you gave up lurking. Link to post Share on other sites
SSScout 1608 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) That is all that is required, that the Scout love the program. You (metaphorical "you", I trust there are more of "you" out there in New England) are therefore doing something right. As you may have gleaned from these pages, we feel the Happy Scout is the one who will continue in Scouting, that that is the ultimate standard of the program. Who wants to play " the game" (no matter WHAT it's purpose), if it is not FUN ? Oh, and welcome to our virtual Cracker Barrel ! Have some chili dip over here.... And my mom was from Brookline, MA.... Bearess: Why do you think ""the Lion program isn't popular here"" ? It has had a nice welcoming here in the Wash DC area.... Edited February 14, 2017 by SSScout Link to post Share on other sites
Scoutmaster Teddy 58 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Jump right in! The Pack I started in has the Lion program and the boys love it. Link to post Share on other sites

Stosh 3452 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I think bearess is in the situation we face in our council. Only one Pack opted for Lions and the jury is still out on it's success/failure situation. Not really much choice for parents of kindergarten kids in this area. Link to post Share on other sites
