Note: BSA originally published changes to Cub Scout advancement requirements
in late November, 2016, in the form of an on-line document listing the original
and proposed requirements.
The revised requirements were later published in addendum booklets to be
inserted in the Cub Scout Handbooks for each level until they can be revised
and republished. The wording shown below, which appears in the addendum
booklets is similar to, but does not exactly match the wording in the original
proposal.
NOTE: The "Backyard Jungle" Adventure has
been renamed the "My Tiger Jungle" Adventure, and
the "My Family's Duty to God" Adventure has been renamed the "Tiger Circles:
Duty to God" Adventure.
There are 6 Core (Required) Adventures in the Tiger program:
- My Tiger Jungle
- Games Tigers Play
- Tiger Circles: Duty to God
- Team Tiger
- Tiger Bites
- Tigers in the Wild
