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.

Tiger Cub Handbook
|
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 the activities 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.
