Tiger Cubs are boys in the first grade or 7 years old.
They join with an adult partner. The Tiger Cub program is a simple and fun introduction to the excitement of Cub Scouting. The first rank that all Cub Scouts work on is Bobcat. For more information, click this link.
Tiger Cubs is an exciting introduction to the scouting program for first grade boys (or 7 years old) excited to get going! Tiger Cubs do stuff - lots of stuff - with their adult partners. This program is intended to open up the world to inquisitive minds along with the caring guidance of adults.
The Tiger Cub program runs on two levels. The scout and his adult partner meet weekly to do activities centered around the family. Then, the scout and adult partner meet with the rest of the Tiger Den to fulfill Den Activity and Go See It requirements.
Starting the path to the Tiger Cub Rank, a scout first earns the Bobcat badge - this is the first step for all Cub Scouts.
The Tiger Cub will also soon earn the Tiger Cub Totem. He can then use the totem to display his achievement beads as he earns them.
Each achievement that he completes will earn a bead. The beads are color-coded.
TIGER CUB ACHIVEMENTS
(to be done after Bobcat Badge is earned)
For each requirement the Tiger Cub completes, he should receive a bead for his immediate recognition totem. When all 15 are completed, he has earned his Tiger Cub Badge.
F F = A 'FAMILY' oriented requirement - white bead
F D = A 'DEN' oriented requirement - orange bead
F G = A 'GO SEE IT' oriented requirement - black bead
For each elective he completes, he will get a yellow disc bead
TIGER CUB ELECTIVES
The Tiger Cub Electives are listed in the back of the Tiger Cub Scout Handbook. These are “extra” optional activities that the Tiger Cub can do. For each elective he completes, he should receive a yellow disc bead for his Tiger Cub immediate recognition totem.
The Tiger Cub badge is presented to boys who have completed all 15 parts of the five separate achievements - five Family activities, five Den activities, and five Go See It outings. Once a boy, or all the boys in a den, earn their Tiger Cub badge, it should be to the scout's adult partner at a pack meeting, who then presents it to the boy. The badge is sewn on the left pocket of the Tiger Scout uniform.
