TIGER   

Any boy who is 7 years old or in first grade can join as a Tiger. The Tiger Cub program is a one-year introduction to Scouting. The Tiger Cub motto is "Search, Discover, Share." The program transitions the boys (and parents!) to the Cub Scouting program, which lasts 3-1/2 years.

Each Tiger Cub joins with an adult partner and forms a team basis.  Tiger Cub groups operate on a system called "shared leadership." Each boy & adult team takes their turn in providing leadership within the Tiger Den. In this way, each boy has the opportunity to serve in a leadership role with an adult partner during his Tiger Cub experience. The Tiger group also attends the monthly Pack meeting. By February they will earn their first achievement rank - Tiger.


WOLF  

Any boy who is 8 years old or in second grade can join as a Wolf. But first, you must earn your Bobcat rank. A Wolf den meets to complete Achievements and electives so each boy may earn his rank and arrow points by February. The Wolf den also attends and participates in the monthly pack meeting.
