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.
