Tiger Cubs
Tiger Cubs is an exciting introduction to the scouting program for boys that have completed kindergarten, or are in first grade (or 7 years old). Tiger Cubs do stuff - lots of stuff - with their adult partners. This program is intended to open up the world to inquisitive minds along with the caring guidance of adults. The first steps along the Boy Scout Trail are laid here and every rank advancement through the scouting program builds on the basic categories of activity done as tigers.
Tiger Cub Advancement:
All cub scouts must earn the Bobcat badge as his first rank after joining a pack. Earning the Bobcat badge is then followed by earning the Tiger Cub badge.
 Bobcat Badge
The requirements for Bobcat are as follows.
- Learn and say The Cub Scout Promise
I....promise to
do my best
To do my duty to God and my country,
To help other people, and
To obey the Law of the Pack.
Duty to God means...Put God first. Do what
you know
God wants you to do.
And my country means...Do what you can for
your
country. Be proud that you are an American.
To help other people means...Do things for
others
that would please them.
Obey the Law of the Pack means...Be a good
Cub
Scout. Be proud that you are one.
- Say The Law of the Pack, tell what it means.
 Pack Law
The Cub Scout follows Akela (say Ah-KAY-la)...Akela
is a good leader. Your mother or father is Akela. In the Pack, your
Cubmaster
is Akela. Your Den Leader is Akela. At school, your teacher is
Akela.
The Cub Scout helps the Pack go...Come to
all the
meetings. Do what you can to help. Think of others in the pack.
The Pack helps the Cub Scout grow...You
can have fun
when you are a part of the pack. Learn things from others. Do things
with
them.
The Cub Scout gives goodwill...Smile. Be
happy. Do
things that make others happy. They don't have to be big things.
Little things
help, too.
- Tell what WEBELOS means...
Webelos is a Cub Scout secret. You'll have to become a Cub Scout to
find out
what it means!
- Show the Cub Scout Sign. Tell what it means.
Make the sign with your right hand and with your arm held straight
up. The two
fingers stand for two parts of the Promise - "to help other
people"
and "to obey." They look like a wolf's ears ready to
listen to Akela.
Give the Cub Scout Sign when you say the Cub Scout Promise or the
Law of the
Pack.
- Show the Cub Scout Handshake. Tell what it means.
Here's how to shake hands with another Cub Scout. Hold out your
right hand
just as you always do to shake hands. Put your first two fingers
along the
inside of the other boy's wrist.
This means that you help and that you obey the law of the Pack.
- Say the Cub Scout Motto.
It
means that when you play a game, you should DO
YOUR BEST
to win or help your team win. When you are in school, you should
DO
YOUR BEST to learn from your teachers. When you're at home,
you should
help your family to the best of your abilities. Always - DO
YOUR BEST.
- Give the Cub Scout Salute.
A Cub Scout salutes with his right hand by holding his fingers as he
does for
the Cub Scout Sign. Keep the two fingers next to each other and
straight.
Touch the tips of the fingers to his cap or if he's not wearing his
cap then
to his eyebrow.
A salute is a way to show respect to your leaders and your country.
When you
salute a leader, you show him/her that you look up to them, when you
salute
the flag you show that you are proud of your country.
- Child Abuse.
With your parent or guardian, complete the exercises in the Parent's
Guide...How
to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse found as a pull out
section in
the front of any Cub Scout Handbook.
When the new Cub Scout has completed these requirements, he has
earned the
Bobcat Badge. This badge will be presented to him at the next Pack Meeting.
The Tiger Cub program runs on two levels.
1. The scout and his adult partner meet weekly to do activities centered around the family.
2. The scout and adult partner meet with the rest of the tiger den to fulfill Den Activity and Go See It requirements.
To begin his path to the Tiger Cub Rank, a boy must do the following to earn the Tiger Cub Totem:
Learn the Tiger Cub Motto: Search, Discover, Share
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:
1. Making My Family Special
2. Where I Live
3. Keeping Myself Healthy and Safe
4. How I Tell It
5. Let's Go Outdoors
As he completes each Achievement, he is awarded a bead which is hung from the Tiger Cub Totem.
|
He earns an
ORANGE bead for each required DEN Activity.
He earns a WHITE bead for each required FAMILY Activity.
He earns a BLACK bead for each required GO SEE IT Activity.
| |
Remember, there are NO performance requirements for a boy. Simply participating and doing one's best in an activity constitutes completion.
After completing the fifteen Achievements, the Tiger Cub is awarded the Tiger Cub Patch. The patch is temporarly fixed on the left pocket, until he advances to the Bobcat Rank and begins working on his Wolf Rank. At that point the Tiger Cub and Bobcat Rank patches are sewn on the Blue Cub Scout Uniform shirt.
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
