What is a Tiger Cub?                             

Tiger Cubs BSA is the part of the program of the Boy Scouts of America that is for boys who are in the first grade and their adult partner. The basic element of Tiger Cubs is the boy-adult team. The adult may be a parent, grandparent, adult brother or sister, aunt or uncle. The only requirements are that the adult be 18 years of age or older, and have a strong commitment to the boy's well being. The boy and his adult partner join Tiger Cubs together.
