First grade girls and boys work toward the Tiger rank. Tiger Scouts get to play games, make fun things, learn about wildlife, spend lots of time outside, and best of all – have fun! Tiger rank is earned by first completing the Bobcat Badge, followed by six required adventures, at least one elective adventure, and the safety exercises listed. Each adventure is designed to help the Scout have fun and learn useful things. Tiger Scouts must be accompanied by a parent on legal guardian at all Scouting activities.
🔶 Tiger Rank Requirements 🔶
🔹 Earn the Bobcat Badge 🔹
Cub Scouts who are in first grade or above must first earn the Bobcat Badge – if it has not already been previously earned – before working on the requirements for their badge of rank. The requirements for the Bobcat Badge that the Scout must complete are the following:
- Learn and say the Scout Oath, with help if needed.
- Learn and say the Scout Law, with help if needed.
- Show the Cub Scout sign. Tell what it means.
- Show the Cub Scout handshake. Tell what it means.
- Say the Cub Scout motto. Tell what it means.
- Show the Cub Scout salute. Tell what it means.
- With your parent or guardian, complete the exercises in the How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide pamphlet.
1. Complete all six required adventures
2. Complete at least one elective adventure
3. Complete the How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse activities
- The parent/guardian must read the How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide pamphlet and complete the suggested activities with their Scout (refer to the blue boxes on pages 20-25 of the pamphlet).
4. Complete a Protect Yourself Rules activity
- Watch the Protect Yourself Rules for Tiger video lesson with your Scout.
OR - The Scout can earn the Protect Yourself Rules Preview Adventure for Tiger.
🧢 Uniform 🧢🧵
Tiger Scouts wear the official navy blue Cub Scout Youth Uniform Shirt and a Cub Scout Cut-To-Fit Uniform Web Belt.
- It is recommended that you purchase the official shirt for your Scout in-person at the Dan Beard Council Scout Shop as the shirt will come with the American Flag patch, official Dan Beard Council patch, and World Crest Emblem patch pre-placed. It may also include the 1910 World Crest Ring Emblem patch, which is optional. You will just need to additionally purchase the red numerals for 20, which refers to Pack 3020 and is placed directly below the Dan Beard Council patch on the left sleeve. The Den 2 patch that would be placed under the American Flag on the right sleeve is optional.
- It is best to purchase the shirt a few sizes too large so that your Scout can ideally wear it for the next four years, until graduating to a Scouts BSA Troop.
- For Scouts that have earned the Lion rank, the Lion Rank Emblem patch should be placed under the front left pocket, leaving 4″-4.5″ of space from the bottom tip of the pocket flap for the other Cub Scout rank emblem patches to be added later.
- The Cub Scout Web Belt is purposely sold long so that it can be cut-to-fit for your Scout. Leave the belt 25%-33% longer then necessary so that it will still be large enough as the Scout grows. Additional length can always be cut off, if necessary, but not added back!
- Official Cub Scout uniform pants/shorts/skorts, socks, Tiger Cap, Tiger neckerchief, and Tiger neckerchief slide are all optional.
- Please refer to the Uniform FAQ for additional information.
📙 Handbook 📙
The Tiger Cub Scout Handbook (optional) is the guide to the Tiger Scout program and where everything needed to complete the requirements can be found.
