Hello Tiger Families!If you haven't done so already, head over to the Bobcat Page, here, and make sure you have
all of the requirements done to earn the Bobcat Badge.
As we work on things in the book, we will be filling up the Tiger Totem with beads showing our accomplishments.
As you can see, there are Den beads and Family beads as well as Go See It beads.
For the Go See It field trips, we will schedule these once each month or so to accomplish them as a den.
The Tiger tracks are for electives from the back of the book that the boys may do. Some of them we can do together. Others you can do
at home and then let us know about it so you can get credit. All this will be explained at the first meeting also.
It's time for a great year in Scouting. Let's hear your Tiger roar!
