About Tiger Cub Scouts


Every year we welcome a new group of Tigers (1st Graders) to PACK 51 and a new Tiger Den Leader. You will meet 1-2 times a month plus one PACK meeting every month.

Tigers is first year of Cub Scouts, which requires parent participation at the Den and PACK meeting, and acting as "Akela" to your Cub Scout. We will meet twice a month. Typically one meeting will be at Lanigan Elementary School and the other meeting will be a "Go see it". What this means is that a family will be in charge for a month, I will have a sign-up at one of the first meetings to which month you would like to be in charge of. Some examples are: "Keeping Myself Healthy and Safe" and "Where I Live and How I Tell It". The 2nd meeting of the month will be "Go See It" and I will have examples of what some of the other parents have done it previous years. 

Please have a Tiger Cub handbook purchased and learn\say the following- The cub scout motto, the cub scout promise and the law of the pack and what they mean. The Tiger Cub will also have to know the cub scout sign, the cub scout salute and the cub scout handshake and what they mean. Finally the importance of being honest and trustworthy. All of these steps must be done in order to obtain the bobcat award which is the first step in becoming a cub scout, the next step will be achieving the Tiger Cub badge!
