This is the first step that a boy takes toward becoming a Boy Scout. A boy can enter Cub Scouts as a Tiger Cub in the 1st grade. Boys can earn beads representing different activities that are displayed on a Tiger Paw. Beads can be earned for den activities, a Go See It (which are similar to field trips), and family activities. A total of 15 beads must be earned in order to achieve the Tiger badge. In this first group, the focus is on family and spending time together. It allows the boys to work with their parents and strengthen bonds.
