The Tiger rank is for girls and boys who are in first grade or are age 7. To earn the Tiger badge, a Scout must complete the six required Adventures with his/her den or family and two elective Adventures of his/her den or family’s choosing. As the Scout completes each Adventure, they will receive the Adventure loop for that Adventure, which they can wear on their belt. When the Scout has completed the eight required Adventures, they can receive the Tiger badge. The Tiger badge is given to the Scout's adult partner at a pack meeting.
After the Scout has earned the Tiger badge, a Tiger Scout can work on the remaining 12 Tiger electives until he/she finishes first grade (or turn 8 years old). They can choose elective Adventures that may show them new hobbies and teach them skills that will be useful during his/her BSA Scout years. When he/she completes an elective Adventure, the Scout receives an additional Adventure loop to wear on their belt.
