When he has done
these, he is awarded the Tiger Cub pocket totem at a pack meeting.
This is a plastic recognition device that he wears on his pocket. The
front side of the totem is emblazoned with a tiger paw print. The lower end of the totem
includes space for four strands for totem beads. A boy earns totem
beads by working on the five Tiger Cub achievements.
The Tiger Cub
Totem Beads
There are five
achievements in Tiger Cubs:
- Making My Family
Special
- Where I Live
- Keeping Myself
Healthy and Safe
- How I Tell It
- Let's Go Outdoors
Each achievement has
three parts: a family activity, a den activity, and a Go See It
outing. A boy receives totem beads as he completes each part:
- He earns a white
bead for each required 'family activity' he completes.
- He earns an
orange bead for each required 'den activity' he completes.
- He earns a black
bead for each required 'Go See It' he completes.
These beads go
on the first three strands of the Tiger Cub pocket totem. (The fourth
strand is for
Tiger Track beads which signify
completed electives.)
A boy can earn only
one bead for each of the 15 achievements, regardless of how many
times he may repeat an achievement.
As each bead is
awarded and added to a boy's pocket totem, he should be recognized
with a simple ceremony at a den meeting. When a boy has earned all
15 beads, he is eligible to receive his Tiger Cub badge, signifying
that he has earned the Tiger Cub rank.
Please consult your
Cub Scout Tiger Cub Handbook
for the specific use of the Tiger Cub Totem.
