TIGER
To begin his path to the Tiger rank,
the Tiger (age 7) must learn the Boy Scout Oath, the Boy Scout Law, the
Cub Scout sign, and the Cub Scout salute.
As a boy finishes each part of the
five Tiger achievements, he earns an orange bead (for den activities), a
white bead (for family activities), or a black bead (for "Go See Its").
When the boy has earned five beads of each color, he can receive his
Tiger Cub badge. The Tiger Cub badge is given to the boy's adult partner
at a pack meeting. Then, during a grand ceremony, the adult gives the
badge to the boy.
