Tiger Roar requirements (Tiger)

0:00 · 10 min

Gathering: keep it up

Give the Scouts who arrive first something to do, so the meeting starts the moment they walk in.

• Put a beach ball or a balloon in the middle of the room and start a den count.
• The den's job is to keep it off the floor and beat the count from last week.
• Stop it the moment the opening is ready, mid-count, so it stays fun and short.

Opening

Flag ceremony, Scout Oath and Scout Law. The same five minutes every week, run by the Scouts.

• The denner calls the den to order and leads the flag ceremony.
• Say the Scout Oath and the Scout Law together. New Scouts read from a card and nobody makes anything of it.
• One sentence on tonight's adventure, Tiger Roar, and the one thing everybody will get done.

Talk time

Den business while everyone is still sitting down, and a look at what is coming.

• The two dates parents need: the next den meeting and the next pack event.
• Ask who already did part of Tiger Roar at home, and write the names down so it gets recorded.
• Take one question from the den. Answer it or say when you will.

Activity 1: With permission from your parent or legal

Close requirement 1 of Tiger Roar: With permission from your parent or legal guardian watch the Protect Yourself Rules video for the Tiger rank.

• This one is done at home, not at the den meeting: a parent or legal guardian watches the Protect Yourself Rules video with their Scout ("With permission from your parent or legal guardian watch the Protect Yourself Rules video for the Tiger rank").
• Send the link to parents the week before with one sentence saying why it is required and that they watch it together.
• At the meeting, ask which families have done it and write the names down. That is the whole den-meeting part of requirement 1.
• Nothing here is acted out, rehearsed or practiced on another Scout. Questions from a Scout go back to their own parent, and to your Cubmaster if a Scout tells you something.

Activity 2: With your Tiger adult partner

Close requirements 2 and 3 of Tiger Roar.

• Do it once yourself at normal speed, then once slowly while you narrate every step.
• Put the den in pairs so each Scout practices "With your Tiger adult partner, demonstrate Shout, Run, Tell as explained in the Protect Yourself Rules video" while their partner watches for the one thing that matters.
• Go round the circle and have every Scout show you once, in their own way.
• Mark it off as each Scout finishes rather than trying to remember at the end.
• Then requirement 3: show "With your Tiger adult partner, demonstrate how to access emergency services" once at full speed and once slowly, then watch every Scout do it back to you.

Closing

End on time, and make sure every Scout leaves knowing what they finished.

• Cubmaster's minute: one short thought tied to what the den just did. Sixty seconds, no lecture.
• Read back what got finished tonight, requirement by requirement, so the Scouts hear their own progress.
• Send the den off with the den yell, and catch the parents who need to hear something at pickup.
