The requirements below were effective through May
31, 2015, when the Cub Scout advancement program was completely revised.
For the current requirements for the Tiger
Badge, Click here.
As of June 1, 2015, the Tiger Totem and Beads have been discontinued.
These are the requirements as they appeared
in the 2001 edition of the Cub Scout Tiger Cub Handbook,
and became effective on June 1, 2001.
After completing the fifteen Achievements required for the Tiger Cub Rank Badge, the Tiger Cub can be awarded Tiger Track Beads, which are YELLOW disks attached to the Totem. One bead is awarded for each group of TEN Electives the Tiger Cub completes. A boy can work on both Achievements and electives concurrently, but he can't receive Tiger Track beads until he has earned the Tiger Cub Badge.
