What are Tiger Cubs?
Most Cub Scout packs have affiliated Tiger Cub groups of first grade boys and their adult partners. Each group consists of 4 to 8 youth members. In addition to their own program, they attend pack meetings and participate in special pack activities. The pack selects a Tiger Cub group coach who then completes Fast Start training. This person conducts the organizational meeting of first graders and adult partners and keeps a monthly contact with the group. The Tiger Cub program is conducted on two levels. First, the boy and adult meet in the home weekly to conduct activities for the whole family. Second, the boy and adult meet monthly with other Tiger Cubs and adults in the group, using the monthly ”big idea” (17 in all!) for the activity. Each monthly group meeting is hosted by a boy and adult team. At the end of the school term, Tiger Cubs graduate into Cub Scouting. See the Tiger Cub Handbook for more information. Tiger Cub Den Leaders are listed on the who’s who page.
