Tiger Scouts work toward the Tiger rank. The Tiger rank is earned by completing seven adventures as described below. Although participation with an adult partner is required for all Tiger awards, recognition items are for the Scouts only.

 

1. Complete each of the six required adventures: • Games Tigers Play • My Tiger Jungle • Team Tiger • Tiger Bites • Tiger Circles: Duty to God • Tigers in the Wild

 

2. In addition to the six required adventures, complete at least one elective adventure of your den’s or family’s choosing.

 

3. With your parent, guardian, or other caring adult, complete the exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide.

 

4. Earn the Cyber Chip award for your age. (The Cyber Chip portion of this requirement may be waived by your parent or guardian if you do not have access to the internet.)

 

For each adventure, the Tiger and adult partner team must complete the requirements as outlined in the Tiger Handbook.

 

Requirement 7 of Bobcat and requirement 3 of Tiger are identical; Cub Scouts need to complete the requirement only one time.

 

The den leader signs each Scout’s handbook (Den Leader’s OK) and records progress in the den’s advancement records. The Tiger Scouts also keep track of their own advancement using the Adventure Tracking section in the back of their handbooks, and under the guidance of the den leader, they can also keep a record of their individual progress on a den advancement chart and den doodle. For requirements completed at home, the parent or other caring adult who worked with the Cub Scout on the requirements will notify the den leader, and the den leader will sign off on the requirements. The pack should encourage each den to deliver a year-round program, drawing from both required adventures to support rank advancement and elective adventures to support program enrichment.

 

Elective adventures may be earned during den activities, by a Cub Scout with participation of the Scout’s family, and during council- and district-sponsored program opportunities. There is no required order in which adventures must be earned. The sequence is left to the discretion of the den leader. After earning the Tiger badge, Cub Scouts will continue to meet with their Tiger den, working on elective adventures until completing first grade (or turning 8 years old) and becoming a Wolf Scout.

​

After a Cub Scout has completed all the requirements for the Tiger rank, they should receive the Tiger badge from their adult partner at the next pack meeting. This is an important milestone, so the ceremony should be suitably impressive. The Tiger badge is sewn on the left pocket of the uniform shirt in the bottom position. Scouts may complete as many elective adventures as their ambition and time available allow. They are entitled to wear each of the adventure loops on their official Cub Scout belt.
