TIGERS " What's Going On In the Den"


 

Tiger Den - 

  Congrats to those tiger cubs that earned their Bobcat Rank.  You are on your way.

  
  Come to have a load of fun.  Scouting is Fun with a purpose.


Requirements for Tiger Cubs


 

Starting the path to the Tiger Cub Rank, a scout first earns the Bobcat badge - this is the first step for all Cub Scouts.

 

But, a Tiger Cub will really earn his Tiger Cub Totem first because its requirements are very simple and it gives him something tangible to receive at the first pack meeting, even if he did not complete all the Bobcat requirements. The Tiger Cub Totem requirements are:

  • Learn the Cub Scout Motto
  • Learn the Cub Scout Sign
  • Learn the Cub Scout Salute

He can then use the totem to display his achievement beads as he earns them.

        The Tiger Totem hangs from right pocket:

Once he earns the Totem, he should then proceed to complete the other requirements for the Bobcat Badge.

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..

As he completes each Activity, he is awarded a bead which is hung from the Totem. 

  • He earns a WHITE bead for each required FAMILY Activity.
  • He earns an ORANGE bead for each required DEN Activity.
  • He earns a BLACK bead for each required GO SEE IT Activity.

           

The den activities and Go See It events should be completed with the entire den. Attendance at den events is important - for both the scout and adult partner. Of course, if a scout has a conflict with a den event, he can perform that activity with his adult partner at some other time.

Tiger Dens should meet twice a month for Den activities, attend a Go See It event once a month, and participate in the Pack Meetings once a month.

Tip: While your scout is working on advancement, his den leader will track his progress on the Tiger Cub Den Advancement Chart. Make this easier by tracking progress in the Tiger Trail chart of the Tiger Scout handbook. Have your tiger bring his book to every den meeting so the den leader can transfer marks from book to chart.

Tip: Keep in mind that participation is the key goal of the Tiger Cub program. There is no level of competence or skill required to earn the rank badge. Don't push your scout to succeed, just participate and enjoy the time together.
