Expectations:
You and your scout form a team. As an adult partner (or Akela), you help your scout get started
in scouting. This is the only year you are required to participate with your Tiger Cub Scout.
Adult partners work with the den leader to help in den meetings and outings and provide
snacks for the meetings.
Goals for Tiger Cubs this Year
The goal of your Tiger Cub Scout is to earn the Tiger Cub badge. We will work towards this badge all year and your scout will earn recognition each step of the way.
- Earn the Tiger Cub Emblem
- Learn the Cub Scout Motto – “Do Your Best”
- Learn the Cub Scout Sign
- Learn the Cub Scout Salute
- Complete the five achievements in Tiger Cubs and earn Achievement Beads to place on the Tiger Cub Badge. Each achievement has three parts and three beads earned: a family activity (white bead), a den activity (orange bead), and a Go and See It outing (black bead).
- Making my Family Special
- Where I Live
- Keeping Myself Healthy and Safe
- How I Tell It
- Let’s Go Outdoors
- Once all fifteen parts of the five achievements have been completed, your scout is awarded his Tiger Cub Badge.
- After earning his Tiger Cub Badge, he can earn Tiger Track Beads by completing elective activities (pages 71 – 141). One Tiger Track bead is awarded for every 10 electives completed. Electives can be worked in concurrence with the achievements, however Tiger Track beads cannot be awarded until the Tiger Cub badge has been earned. These are electives and are not required, but give your scout a sense of pride for his additional accomplishments.
