Tiger
Cubs BSA
is a
program
designed
for
first-grade
boys.
Each boy
participates
with a
parent
(or
another
adult
family
member)
in
family-oriented
activities
ranging
from
family
camping
to
preparing
for
emergencies.
The time
you and
your
scout
spend in
Tiger
Cubs is
meant to
be fun.
A chance
to get
to know
one
another
better
and do
things
with
your
family,
as well
as other
members
of the
Tiger
Cub Den
whom you
see at
den
meetings
and pack
activities.
The
Tiger
Cub Den
is made
up
scouts
and
their
families.
A.
The Den
is
composed
of 3 to
8
families.
B. The
Den
meets
twice a
month.
Each
family
takes a
turn
running
the
monthly
meeting
and
everyone
attends
the
monthly
pack
meeting
and
other
pack
events.
C. Den
meetings
are
based on
ideas
taken

Tiger
Cub Book
and are

host
family.

Tiger
belt

are used
to
recognize
completion
of

Cub
Coach.

is
someone
from the
host
Pack who
will
help you
organize
the den
and be a
resource
for
programs
and
activities.
The
coach is
not the
Tiger
Coordinator.
They
help
organize
and work
as your
Pack
liaison.
For Pack

Tiger
Coach is
usually
the
Assistant
Pack
Leader.
Each
Tiger
Den has
a Tiger
Coordinator.

of one
of the
Tigers
will
serve as
the
Tiger
Coordinator.
Their

to
coordinate
the
monthly
activities
among
all the
families.
Everyone
shares
leadership.
Cub
Scouts –
Second
through
Fifth
Grades
Motto:
Do Your
Best
-
Learn
new
physical
skills
through
sports,
crafts
and
games.

how
to

along
with
others
through
group
activities.

In
society
where
your son
is often
taught
that
winning
is
everything,
Cub
Scouting
teaches
him “to
do his
best”
and be
helpful
to
others
as
expressed
in the
Cub
Scout
Promise.
A Cub
Scout
den
provides
your son
with a
group of
boys his
own age
in which
he can
earn
status
and
recognition.
In the
den, he
will
also
gain a
sense of
personal
achievement
for the
new
skills
he
learns.
