Tiger Cub Coach
The Tiger Cub coach is a member of the pack leadership, recommended by the Cubmaster and approved by the pack committee and chartered organization.

The first priority of a Tiger Cub coach is to understand the procedure and be prepared for the recruiting, registering, and orientation of Tiger Cubs and adult partners at the School Night for Scouting or rally. Tiger Cub coaches should not begin to organize Tiger Cub dens until they have completed their initial training, or orientation.

Training Tiger Cub coaches is the responsibility of the district training team. An outline for a l-hour orientation session, which includes using The New Tiger Cub Coach Fast Start video, is included in this guidebook. Additional training for coaches and other pack volunteers is offered through Cub Scout Leader Basic Training. The Tiger Cub coach coordinates the training of the Tiger Cub Den Coordinator.

The Tiger Cub Coach's responsibilities are to:

  • Complete Tiger Cub Coach Fast Start Training.
  • Organize and provide orientation for Tiger Cub dens.
  • Maintain contact with each Tiger Cub den through the Tiger Cub den coordinator and the host team for that month's den meeting(s).
  • Coordinate Tiger Cub participation in pack activities and the Tiger Cub graduation ceremony.
  • Re-register the Tiger Cubs and their adult partners as a part of the pack's annual charter renewal process.
  • Follow up to ensure graduation of all Tiger Cubs into Cub Scouting.
  • Serve as a resource person for the Tiger Cub dens.
  • Report on the progress of Tiger Cub dens at monthly pack leaders' meetings.
