As the king of the jungle, it would be easy for a lion to be a bully or to take advantage of other animals that might be weaker—but that would not be right. Lion Scouts are learning to be leaders who lead by example. Lions make every effort to help those around them succeed and to do the right thing, even when it might not be the easiest path to take. Lions can feel proud when they know that they have truly done their best, that they have treated others fairly, that they have made good decisions, and that they have helped others.
Takeaways
- Learning that life is a series of choices
- Understanding that mistakes can happen or things may not go as planned, but it is
important to keep going and keep trying - It’s easier to knock something or somebody down than it is to build it (him or her) up.
- There are times when it’s OK to knock something down.
- If you knock someone or something down accidentally, make sure you help build it back up.
Requirements
- Discuss with other Lions things that can be built and things that can be knocked down.
- Discuss with other Lions how they and their fellow Lions can be built up and knocked
down, not just physically but also emotionally. - Build structures using available materials.
