Tiger Cub Program:
The Tiger Cub Scouts is a one-on-one program for boys in the first grade and their parents (Tiger Cub Partner). Each Tiger Cub and their adult partner are part of a den. Den meetings are held twice each month. Den meetings are designed to help cover the core basics of Cub Scouting in a group setting; however, most of the work involved with advancements is completed at home with the Tiger Cub Scout's adult partner. One "Go See It" outing is typically planned for each month. The Go See It is designed to educate the Tiger Cub Scouts about various aspects of the community, family, health/safety, outdoors, and communications. Each den belongs to a larger group - called a pack. Each month, a pack meeting is held to celebrate advancements, learn more about pack activities, and to work on advancements.
