(1st Grade | Ages 6–7)
Tiger Scouts are first graders who are ready to dive into the world of Cub Scouting with more independence, responsibility, and adventure—while still having a parent or adult partner by their side.
It’s the next step after Lion Scouts, or a great place to begin for new families!
Tiger Scouts participate in fun, hands-on adventures that encourage:
Teamwork and friendship
Exploring the outdoors
Learning important life skills
Building character and confidence
Each Tiger Den meets regularly (usually 1–2 times a month) for short, engaging activities. They also participate in monthly Pack meetings and events with other Dens.
Here are some of the fun themes Tiger Scouts explore:
Games Tigers Play – practicing good sportsmanship and having fun
My Tiger Jungle – discovering nature in your own backyard
Team Tiger – working together and being a good teammate
Tiger Bites – learning about healthy eating and manners
Tiger Circles: Duty to God – beginning to explore faith and values
Scouts also choose from elective adventures like building, hiking, or learning about jobs in the community.
To earn the Tiger Badge, Scouts complete:
✅ 6 required adventures
✅ At least 1 elective adventure
✅ Participation in a Pack event and a service project
Each adventure earned adds a loop to their Tiger Adventure Belt, a visible sign of their growing skills and achievements.
Tiger Scouts still participate with an adult partner, making it a fantastic opportunity for shared experiences and building stronger family connections. No experience is required—just a willingness to learn and have fun together!
Being a Tiger Scout means more than just earning badges. It’s about:
Building confidence
Making new friends
Developing values like respect and responsibility
Having a safe, structured, and fun environment to grow
Adventure: Games Tigers Play
Objective: Teach good sportsmanship and encourage creativity through game design.
Activity:
Scouts work in pairs or small groups to create their own simple board game using cardboard, dice, and tokens.
They design spaces, rules, and objectives (e.g., “First to reach the campsite wins!”).
After creating, each group takes turns playing each other's games.
Materials Needed:
Cardboard or poster board
Markers, stickers, and glue
Dice and small items as game pieces
Scouting Purpose: Fosters creativity, cooperation, and fair play.
Adventure: Safe and Smart
Objective: Learn about safety and community helpers.
Activity:
Arrange a visit to a local fire station or police station.
Scouts tour the facility, see equipment, and hear from first responders about what to do in emergencies.
Afterward, discuss what they learned and role-play calling 911 using toy phones or a script.
Materials Needed:
Permission slips (if required)
Thank-you cards for the station visit
Scouting Purpose: Builds safety awareness and appreciation for community helpers.
Adventure: Tiger Tales or Tiger Circles: Duty to God
Objective: Learn basic tool use and the value of hard work.
Activity:
With adult supervision, Scouts use real tools (hammer, nails, wood glue) to assemble a pre-cut birdhouse or toolbox kit.
After building, they decorate or paint them.
Talk about how helping others (like birds needing a home!) is part of duty to God and the community.
Materials Needed:
Birdhouse/toolbox kits (or simple DIY wood pieces)
Hammers, nails, glue, paint
Scouting Purpose: Teaches responsibility, basic skills, and service to others.
