CUB SCOUT PACK 422
Dawsonville, Georgia
chartered by: Etowah Lodge #222
Trusted in our
honor
Loyal and helpful
Friends to one
and all
Your boy is growing up fast. Just look at how quickly he outgrows his
clothes! Ten years from now, he'll be 16 or 17 years old. Wow!

As he is growing, you can give him something that can help him develop
self-assurance as he builds respect for other people. And he and you will
both have fun doing it.

This adventure with him begins with Tiger Cubs - a program of exciting
indoor and outdoor activities just right for a boy who is in first grade and/or
is 7 years old. You are there with him as his support and guide, but you don't
do things for him. He will learn by doing things himself. And as he learns and
grows, your relationship with him will grow, too.

At the end of the school year, he will graduate into a Wolf Cub Scout den.
Later, he will be in a Bear den, and then he'll become a Webelos Scout.

The Tiger Cub badge is for boys who have completed all 15 parts of the five achievements, that is, five family activities, five den activities, and five Go
See It outings. During an impressive ceremony, the Tiger Cub badge is presented to the adult partner at a pack meeting, who in turn presents the
badge to the boy. The badge is placed on the left pocket just below the bobcat badge (See Uniform PatchPlacement).

While your boy is working on advancement, you can help. Besides signing his handbook as Akela once he has done his best, let your den leader know
of any completed parts of achievements at your next den meeting. The den leader will keep a record of your boy's individual progress on the Tiger Cub
Den Advancement Chart. In addition, your boy, with your help, will keep track of his own advancement on
the Tiger Trail chart found on page 152 of his handbook. This encourages him and helps him see his progress toward the Tiger Cub rank.

The advancement requirements are written in such a way as to give you room to customize activities for your boy and your den. There are no
performance requirements for Tiger Cubs. Boys should never be "tested" or placed in a position where they will not be successful. Simply participating
in theactivities and doing his best constitutes completion.

The den activities and 'Go See It' outings are intended to be completed with the den. If a Tiger Cub is unable to participate in an activity because of
illness or a conflict, however, you may work with him to complete these requirements. For your boy to receive the full benefit of the program, it is
important for you, his adult partner, to make every effort to attend meetings regularly.

At the end of the school year, he will graduate into a Wolf Cub Scout den. Later, he will be in a Bear den, and then he'll become a Webelos Scout.
Before Earning The Tiger Cub Rank, The Bobcat Rank must first be earned.
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 (See also Bobcat Rank)
Learn the Cub Scout Salute (See Also Bobcat Rank)



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:

Making My Family Special
Where I Live
Keeping Myself Healthy and Safe
How I Tell It
Let's Go Outdoors

As he completes each Achievement, he is awarded a bead which is hung from the Totem.

He earns a WHITE bead for each required FAMILY Activity.
He earns an ORANGE bead for each required DEN 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.
