Tiger Cub Immediate Recognition Emblem


Along the Bobcat trail, a boy earns the Tiger Cub Immediate Recognition emblem by completing three specific Bobcat requirements.

1. Learn and say the Cub Scout Motto: DO YOUR BEST !
2. Learn the Cub Scout Sign: See Bobcat Page.
3. Learn the Cub Scout Salute: See Bobcat Page.

When he has done these, he is awarded the Tiger Cub Immediate Recognition Emblem at the next Pack Meeting.  This is a plastic tiger paw with space for four strands for beads that he wears on the right shirt Pocket.  A boy earns beads by working on the five Tiger Cub Achievements.
                                                                                                     

Tiger Cub Scout Achievements


     

Starting the path to the Tiger Cub Rank, a Scout first earns the Bobcat Badge - this is the first step for all Cub Scouts.  But, a Tiger Cub will really earn his Tiger Cub Totem first because its requirements are very simple and it gives him something tangible to receive at the first pack meeting, even if he did not complete all the Bobcat requirements as mentioned above.  

Boys need frequent recognition soon after an accomplishment.  The TIGER CUB TOTEM (paw) provides recognition during the path to earn the Tiger Rank badge.  As a Tiger, whenever he completes a Family, Den or Go See it activity, he earns a bead to plave on his TOTEM.

  • A White Bead for each required 'family activity' part he completes.
  • An Orange bead for each required 'den activity' part he ompletes.
  • A black bead for each required 'Go See It' part he completes.
  • A yellow 'Tiger Track' disk for every ten Tiger Electives he completes after earning his Tiger rank Badge.
                   

The Tiger Cub Badge will be presented to boys who have completed all 15 parts of the five separate achievements - five Family activities, five Den activities and five Go See It outings.  The Tiger Cub Badge will be presented to the Cub adult partner at a pack meeting who intern will then present it to their Cub.  The badge is sewn on the left poaket of the Tiger Scout uniform. 

The den activities and Go See It Events should be completed with the entire Den.  Attendance at den events is important - for both the scout and adult partner.  Of course, if a scout has a conflict with a Den Event, he can perform that activity with his adult partner at some other more convenient time.

While your scout is working on advancement, his den leader will track his progress on the Tiger Cub Advancement chart, and in his handbook.  Have your Tiger bring his book to every den meeting so the Den Leader can transfer marks from his book to the chart.

Keep in mind that participation is the key goal of the Tiger Cub program.  There is no level of competence or skill required to earn the rank badge.  Just participate and enjoy the time together with your son.
