Tiger (1st Grade)

Tiger Scouts is an exciting scouting program for first grade youth (or 7 years old) ready to get going! Tigers do stuff – lots of stuff – and all with their adult partners. This program is intended to open up the world to inquisitive minds along with the caring guidance of adults. The first steps along the Boy Scout Trail are laid here and every rank advancement through the scouting program builds on the basic activities done as Tigers.

If a youth has completed kindergarten (or is 7 years old) and has earned the Bobcat Badge, earning the Tiger rank is next. The first badge worked on at this level is the Bobcat Badge. The scout receives a Tiger Scout handbook. This part of the boy scout trail is intended to take one school year, preparing the scout to begin Wolf adventures after completing first grade.

To earn the rank of Tiger, scouts must complete eight Adventures:

Required Adventures:

1. Bobcat (Character/Leadership)

2. Tigers in the Wild (Outdoors)

3. Tiger Bites (Personal Fitness)

4. Team Tiger (Citizenship)

5. Tiger Roar (Personal Safety)

6. Tiger Circles (Family/Reverence)

Elective Adventures:

7. Elective Adventure

8. Elective Adventure

Uniform: The uniform is one of the methods of delivering the Scouting program.  In addition to creating a sense of belonging, the uniform gives a Scout the ability to display their personal achievements. A Tiger will need a blue Cub Scout Shirt, Cub Scout belt, Tiger neckerchief, Tiger neckerchief slide, and hat. As part of Rumson Pack 11, Scouts have the choice to purchase the rank-specific hat each year, or a “Rumson Pack 11” hat to wear for multiple years. Additionally, Tigers will need Pack Number Patches and the Council Patch. Scouts will continue to wear this shirt throughout 3rd Grade. It may be best to purchase this a little bit larger to get multiple years out of it. Pants and shorts are also available to purchase, if interested. Uniforms may be purchased locally at the Morganville Scout Shop or online at the Scout Shop. The Morganville Scout Shop offers patch sewing as well. Uniform costs are not included in Pack dues, however all adventure loops and rank badges are.
