Boys in 1^st grade are brought in as Tiger Scouts. Boys not yet in 1^st grade are not eligible for scouting yet. The Tiger Cub program is used to introduce young boys to scouting. Due to safety concerns and the typical capabilities of 1^st grade boys, there are a few things that they cannot participate in. Most notable is overnight camping. These conditions are in effect until they graduate from 1^st grade. At that time they transfer to the Wolf Cub program. There are many levels of Tiger Cub recognition. As a Tiger Cub, if the scout participates in an activity, and does his best, then that activity is considered complete. There are no grading or performance requirements. Tiger Cub Immediate Recognition Emblem – This emblem is earned by the scout learning the Tiger Cub motto, the Cub Scout sign and salute. The scout wears the emblem and displays the beads he earns on his way to the Tiger badge. Achievement Beads – As the scout completes achievement parts (total of fifteen) on the way to getting his Tiger badge, he is awarded beads to display on his Tiger Cub Immediate Recognition Emblem. If you do not wish to write in your handbook, there is an advancement signoff sheet link to the left. Each achievement bead can only be earned once. Tiger Badge – Once all five achievements have been earned, then the scout is awarded his Tiger badge. Electives / Tiger Track Beads – After the scout has earned his Tiger badge, he can begin earning Tiger Track beads by completing ten electives, every ten electives earns one Tiger Track bead. Electives can be done more than once, but do not continually repeat the same ones. If you do not wish to write in your handbook, there is an elective signoff sheet link to the left. Electives can be worked on prior to earning his Tiger badge, but the Tiger Track beads can not be awarded until the Tiger badge is presented. After a boy has earned his Tiger badge, he must earn his Bobcat badge before he can earn his Wolf badge.
