Ready, Set, Grow

Lions in the jungle are always on the hunt for food; they have to spend much of their time looking for something to eat. We need food as well so we can grow big and strong. Real lions can’t grow a garden, but Lion Scouts can! When the Lions learn basic gardening skills, they are learning a valuable way
to grow their own food. They are also developing a connection and seeing the importance of the natural world.
