Tiger Requirements
Boys must earn the Bobcat Badge before they begin working on the Tiger Cub rank.
After earning the Bobcat Badge, a boy must do the following to earn the Tiger Cub Totem:
Learn the Cub Scout Motto: Do Your Best
Learn the Cub Scout Sign
Learn the Cub Scout Salute
Once he earns the Totem, to earn the Tiger Cub rank the Tiger Cub Scout must complete a Family Activity, a Den Activity, and a “Go See It” Activity in each of five Achievement Areas:
- Making My Family Special
- Where I Live
- Keeping Myself Healthy and Safe
- How I Tell It
- Let’s Go Outdoors
As he completes each Achievement, 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.
After completing the fifteen Achievements, the Tiger Cub is awarded the Tiger Cub Patch.
Also, after completing the achievements, the Tiger Cub can be awarded Tiger Track Beads, which are YELLOW disks attached to the Totem. One bead is awarded for each group of TEN Electives the Tiger Cub completes. A boy can work on both Achievements and electives concurrently, but he can’t receive Tiger Track beads until he has earned the Tiger Cub Badge.
Den meetings along with parental participation will walk children through the steps needed to accomplish these tasks. See the Tiger Cub Handbook for the detailed requirements. The following online resources may also be helpful but are not published by the BSA - Cub Scout Tiger Cub Handbook Online
