Boys who are age 7 or are beginning the 1st Grade and must have an Adult Partner who attends all events with the boys

To begin his path to the Tiger Cub rank, the Tiger Cub must learn the Cub Scout promise, the Cub Scout sign, and the Cub Scout salute. When he has learned these, he gets his Tiger Cub emblem, which is a tiger paw with four strings for beads. He wears the emblem on his right pocket.

As a boy finishes each part of the five Tiger Cub achievements, he earns an orange bead (for den activities), a white bead (for family activities), or a black bead (for "Go See Its"). When the boy has earned five beads of each color, he can receive his Tiger Cub badge. The Tiger Cub badge is given to the boy's adult partner at a pack meeting. Then, during a grand ceremony, the adult gives the badge to the boy.

Tiger Cub Handbook

The Tiger Cub handbook is intended to guide both the boys and their parents along the Cub Scout trail. The trail to Tiger begins with learning the Cub Scout promise, the Cub Scout sign, and the Cub Scout salute. Then it progresses toward 15 achievement activities that result in the boy becoming a Tiger. Once the boy has achieved the rank of Tiger he and his parent can choose 50 elective activities.

Parents and guardians should read the "Parent Guide" in their boy's handbook so that they will understand the advancement program.
