Cub Scout Tiger Cub Rank
These are the requirements as they appear
in the 2001 edition of the Cub Scout Tiger Cub Handbook,
and became effective on June 1, 2001.
They have been adjusted slightly to
take into account the requirement to earn Bobcat before Tiger as
described in the current edition (34713 or 32552)
Boys must earn the Bobcat Badge before they begin working on the Tiger Cub rank.
To begin his path to the Tiger Cub Rank, 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, he should then proceed to complete the other requirements for the Bobcat Badge.
Then, in order 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 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.
|
Remember, there are NO performance requirements for a boy in the Tiger Cub trail.
Simply participating and doing one's best in an activity constitutes completion.
