LITTLE LAMBS The Little Lamb program is treated as a parent/child partnership, and the child will gain much in the interaction with other children. The Little Lamb will be recognized for his/her work and will be invested along with the Adventurer Club. The child must be 4 years old by September 1st of the year they are enrolled in the Little Lamb program. The Little Lamb curriculum is organized around the four basic relationships in a child's life: my God, myself, my family and my world. EAGER BEAVER PROGRAM This program is designed for kindergarten-age boys and girls. The Eager Beaver program and its curriculum are separate from the Adventurer program. In fact, the Eager Beaver program is different from both the Pathfinder and Adventurer programs primarily because it involves a parent-child partnership, while the Adventurer and especially the Pathfinder programs are club organizations. Ideally, parents and their children will do the Eager Beaver activities together. The Eager Beaver Club utilizes hands-on activities, geared specifically for this age group, to provide experiences and develop skills that will be beneficial throughout life.
