TIGER CUBS, BSA

Tiger Cubs, BSA, is a program for boys in the first grade and their adult partners.  It allows the boy and adult to build strong relationships with each other, the rest of the family, and with other members of the Tiger Cub's group.

Tiger Cubs introduces boys and their adult partners to the excitement of Cub Scouting as they live the Tiger Cub motto together:  Search, Discover, Share.  Tiger Cubs is designed to build stronger families through involvement in a simple, low-cost program that is flexible and fun for boys and adults. A shared leadership component, where a den leader works with boy-adult partner teams, gives everyone input into the planning and carrying out of activities.

Each boy-adult partner team should have a copy of the Tiger Cub Handbook.  It includes the advancement requirements and electives that the boys and adults can complete together. Program elements are also explained, as well as how meetings can help boys advance.

To begin his path to the Tiger Cub rank, the Tiger Cub must learn the Tiger Cub motto, the Cub Scout sign and the Cub Scout salute.  When he has accomplished these tasks, he will be awarded his  Tiger Cub belt totem. This is a tiger paw with four strands for totem beads that he wears on his belt. A boy earns totem beads by working on the five Tiger Cub achievements.
