A first grade boy or girl who is between 6 and 7 years old may begin his Cub Scouts experience at the Tiger level. All new Cub Scouts, especially Tigers, must first earn their Bobcat badge, which is awarded to scouts when they first join and complete a small set of requirements.
Once completing the Bobcat badge requirements, the scout is ready to begin earning his Tiger badge which he will work on with his den throughout the course of the year.
Your scout's den leader will coordinate with parents to develop den meeting plans and schedules with a clear path to working towards badge requirements. Parents are encouraged to play an active role in the scouting experience as well. Some ways parents can be involved include working with their son to complete and reinforce objectives at home, support den leaders by hosting meetings and assisting with presentations, volunteering for pack activities and projects, etc.
Den meeting plans for the Tiger rank are available in the Tiger Den Leader Guide, along with other tips and hints for running a fun Cub Scout program. Den Leader Guides are available for sale at the Woburn Scout Shop, or may be passed down from den leaders from previous years.
