Note: BSA originally published changes to Cub Scout advancement requirements in late November, 2016, in the form of an on-line document listing the original and proposed requirements.
The requirements shown below are those in that document. The revised
requirements were later published in addendum booklets to be inserted in
the Cub Scout Handbooks for each level until they can be revised and
republished. The wording in the addendum booklets is similar to, but
does not exactly match the wording in the original proposal shown below.
NOTE: The "Backyard Jungle" Adventure has
been renamed the "My Tiger Jungle" Adventure, and
the "My Family's Duty to God" Adventure has been renamed the "Tiger Circles:
Duty to God" Adventure.
There are 6 Core (Required) Adventures in the Tiger program:
- My Tiger Jungle
- Games Tigers Play
- Tiger Circles: Duty to God
- Team Tiger
- Tiger Bites
- Tigers in the Wild
