Tigers are limited for the most part to day time outings and can not "camp out" or do over night activities except as part of  "Family Pack Camping" activities held during the year.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Advancement:</B> Tiger Cubs should do the  5th "Achievement" which requires an outdoor activity as early in the year as possible to take advantage of the warm weather. The other "Achievements" your Groups does can be done in any order but <B><U>should be completed by March</U></B><U> </U>so that the Tigers can advance. As a group you should try to do at least 7-8 additional "Electives" throughout the Scouting year. If you would like help running your first  meeting or have any questions around the Tiger Cub program please contact our Cubmaster who will be more than willing to help you out. We will hold an advancement ceremony for these boys during the June Pack meeting, at which time the boys should also have completed thier Bobcat rank requirements. The June Pack meetings is also our "Year end picnic" held at Round Valley Youth Center in Clinton Township and is one event you will not want to miss!</div> <bR> <div> <B>Pack Meetings:</B> Tiger Cubs are new to the Pack and have a lot to learn. The most important item initially is paying attention to the Cubmaster at all times during the Pack meeting. When the "Signs Up" is given they should be quite and do as they are instructed.  As the year progresses Tigers will be included in more and more of our Pack meeting activities as we prepare them for becoming Cub Scouts.</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table> </body>
