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 revised requirements were later published
in addendum booklets to be inserted in the Cub Scout Handbooks for each
level until they could be revised and republished. The wording in the addendum
booklet was similar to, but did not exactly match the wording in the original
proposal. The wording shown below is in the current edition of the Tiger
Cub Scout Handbook which was issued in September, 2018.
In 2020, the Protect Yourself Rules preview adventure
was introduced.
In May, 2021, BSA announced that four of the Tiger
elective adventures will be retired on May 31, 2022.
There are 13 Elective Adventures in the Tiger program, plus one preview
adventure which can be earned as an elective or substituted for the Cyber
Chip requirement.
