The Tiger rank is for boys and girls who are in first grade or are age 7. To earn the Tiger badge, a boy or girl must complete six required adventures with their den or family and one elective adventure of their den or family’s choosing. As the boy or girl completes each adventure, they will receive the adventure loop for that adventure, which they can wear on their belt. When the boy or girl has completed the seven required adventures, they can receive the Tiger badge. The Tiger badge is given to the boy or girl’s adult partner at a pack meeting. Then, during a grand ceremony, the adult gives the badge to the boy or girl.

After the boy or girl has earned the Tiger badge, a Tiger Scout can work on the remaining 12 Tiger electives until he or she finishes first grade (or turns 8 years old). They can choose elective adventures that may show them new hobbies and teach them skills that will be useful during their Boy Scout years. When he or she completes an elective adventure, they receive an additional adventure loop to wear on their belt.
