THE TIGER CUBS
Note: When Aidan joined Cub Scouts, Tiger was the first badge that was earned. The program has since been changed as noted here..."The Bobcat badge is earned prior to all other ranks. If a boy joins Cub Scouting as a Tiger, Wolf, Bear, or Webelos, he must earn the Bobcat badge first before receiving any other award or rank."
THE TIGER CUB RANK BACKGROUND
________________
In 1982, Tiger Cubs was started as a "Pack-associated" program with Tiger Cubs being 7 years old.
They wore special orange T-shirts with iron-on "badges". Beginning in 1996, when a Tiger Cub
graduated to the Pack, he was presented with a "Tiger Cub BSA" strip that would be worn just below
the right pocket of the blue uniform shirt:Image:TigerCubsBSApatch.jpg When the grade-based rank
system was phased in in 1986, the age for beginning Tiger Cubs was lowered to First grade. In 2001,
the current diamond-shaped Tiger Cub rank badge was introduced. In 2007, the Tiger Cub Den was
fully integrated into the pack; Tiger Cubs now wear the blue Cub Scout shirt. Around 2009, the Tiger Cub uniform was integrated into the regular Cub Scout uniform, with orange neckercheif.

THE TIGER CUB RANK
The Tiger Cub Scout program is for boys who have completed Kindergarten (or are age 7).
After earning the Bobcat badge, a boy may earn the Tiger Cub badge by completing 15
achievements involving simple physical and mental skills.
Each month Tiger Cubs generally have at least two den meetings, a pack meeting, and a
"Go See It" den meeting outing. The program section of the Tiger Cub den meeting is
usually divided into three parts, corresponding to the Tiger Cub motto:
Share. Each boy shares something that he's done since the last meeting.
Search. Leaders and Den Chiefs will discuss the next Go See It outing. This activity could
fulfill one of the achievement requirements or one of the elective requirements, or it could
relate to the monthly theme.
Discover. During Discover time, the den leader may introduce the monthly theme and talk
about what the den will be doing for the pack meeting. Then the boys will play games, have
activities, take part in outdoor activities, or work on advancement requirements.
As a boy completes each part of the Tiger Cub achievements, he will be awarded either
an orange (den activities), white (family activities), or black ("Go See It") bead. When the
boy has earned five beads of each color, he is eligible to receive his Tiger Cub badge.
The Tiger Cub badge is presented to the adult partner at the next pack meeting. In an
impressive ceremony, the adult partner in turn presents the badge to the boy.
Tiger Cubs can complete Tiger Cub Electives and Belt Loops and Pins at any time.
The Tiger Cub Scout uniform has six parts.
