Tiger Cubs Guide

Cub Scout ranks are set up by grade and age, except for the Bobcat, which all boys must earn. The Tiger Cub rank is for those boys who have completed kindergarten (or are 7 years old). The Bobcat badge is earned after the Tiger Cub rank but before all other ranks. Although participation with an adult partner is required for all Tiger Cub awards, adult partners do not earn these awards. Recognition items are for boys only. To ensure that boys are given prompt recognition for advancement, it is important that accurate, up-to-date den and pack advancement records are kept. The first step in earning the Tiger Cub badge is learning the Tiger Cub motto (Search, Discover, Share), the Cub Scout sign, and the Cub Scout salute. He then will be awarded the Tiger Cub totem to be worn on his belt. He receives this award at a pack meeting. The Tiger Cub must then complete one den activity, one family activity, and one Go See It activity within each of the five achievement areas to earn the Tiger Cub rank. He works with his adult partner to do this. As he completes each of the 15 requirements, he

he receives an orange, white, or black bead at den meetings to add to his totem. He earns a white bead for each required family activity part he completes. He earns an orange bead for each required den activity he completes. He earns a black bead for each required Go See It part he completes. As each bead is awarded and added to the boy's totem, he should be recognized with a simple ceremony at the den meeting. When all 15 requirements are completed, he is presented the Tiger Cub badge at a pack meeting ceremony. Note that a boy can earn only one bead for each of the 15 achievement parts, regardless of how many times he may repeat a particular part. Boys wear the Tiger Cub badge by placing it in the recessed area of the Tiger Cub belt totem. When they transition into a Wolf Cub Scout den, they wear the badge on the blue uniform shirt on the left pocket in the bottom position. After he has earned the Tiger Cub badge, the boy may earn Tiger Tracks by completing electives in the Tiger Cub Handbook. He earns one Tiger Track for every 10 electives he completes. The Tiger Track beads are worn on the fourth strand of the Tiger Cub belt totem. There is no limit to the number of Tiger Track beads that a boy may earn; however, each Tiger Track bead must represent the completion of 10 electives. Boys may work on electives at the same time as achievements, but a boy can't receive Tiger Track beads until he has earned the Tiger Cub badge. The boy may also begin earning the Bobcat rank when he completes the Tiger Cub badge. The Tiger Cub den leader should keep the Den Advancement Chart and file Den Advancement Reports with the pack so that the boys can receive their awards at the pack meeting.
