To begin his path to the Tiger Cub Rank, a boy must do the
following to earn the Tiger Cub Totem:
- Learn the Tiger Cub Motto: Search, Discover, Share
- Learn the Cub Scout Sign

Once he earns the Totem, to earn the Tiger Cub rank the Tiger Cub
Scout must complete a Family Activity, a Den Activity, and a "Go See
It" Activity in each of five Achievement Areas:
- Making My Family Special
- Where I Live
- Keeping Myself Healthy and Safe
- How I Tell It
- Let's Go Outdoors
As he completes each Achievement, he is awarded a bead which is
hung from the Totem.
- He earns a WHITE bead for each required
FAMILY Activity.
- He earns an ORANGE bead for each required
DEN Activity.
- He earns a BLACK bead for each required GO
SEE IT Activity.

After completing the fifteen Achievements, the Tiger Cub is awarded
the Tiger Cub Patch. The patch is affixed to the reverse side of the
Tiger Cub Totem until he advances to the Bobcat Rank and begins
working on his Wolf Rank. At that point the Tiger Cub and Bobcat Rank
patches are sewn on the Blue Cub Scout Uniform shirt.
Also, after completing the achievements, 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.
