Your Second Tiger Meeting

1. Bring supplies that you'll need to make a den flag: pieces of cloth, felt, scissors, glue, markers, a ruler, etc.
2. Bring the meeting sign-up sheet.
3. Make Copies of the Tiger Maze sheet mentioned below under Gathering Time.
4. Bring clear plastic tumblers, paper towels, and dried lima beans for the Discover activity.

When Scouts arrive, give them an Tiger Maze to work on.

Practice the den cheer that you selected at your first meeting.

Ask the boys to tell everyone what they did with their families since the last meeting. Draw them out by asking specific questions, such as

• did you see any interesting movies?
• what was the best meal you've had in the last week?
• do you spend much time playing video games? which ones?
• are you on any sports teams? what sport? what position do you play?
• have you visited any relatives?
• what is your favorite activity or subject at school?
• do you have any hobbies?
• what do you do to help around the house?

As a group, design and make a den flag. Let the Tigers decide what should be on the flag, cut out some of the pieces, glue them into place, etc. Later, you can mount the flag to a pole so that it can be displayed at the Pack meeting.

After the den flag is complete (or when the Tigers begin to loose interest), plant a seed (Tiger Elective #30). Give each scout a clear plastic tumbler. Line the inside of the tumbler with damp paper towels. Place a few dried lima beans between the tumbler wall and the paper towel. Tell the Tiger Cubs to check the towel each day and add a little water if needed to keep it moist. In about a week they should see some of the beans sprouting.

Pass the meeting sign-up sheet around so that if any tiger teams didn't get a chance to sign up to lead a future meeting they can do it today.

Finalize arrangements for the Go See It activity next week.

As each boy leaves he repeats the Tiger Cub motto to the den leader.

If the den flag could not be completed, you and your Tiger Cub may have to get it to the point where it can be used at the Pack meeting.

Finalize preparations for the "Go See It" activity for next week.

1. Clean up your meeting place throroughly
2. Discuss how the meeting went with your Tiger Cub and with some of the other members of the den. Adjust future meeting plans as appropriate.
3. Request a Tour Permit for the Go See It activity that you'll do in a few weeks. (See Your Third Tiger Den Meeting.) Your Cubmaster or Committee Chair can explain the process of getting a Tour Permit. This is very important - without it there is no insurance coverage and you are putting yourself and the Pack at risk. Always request a Tour Permit for activities that your den will participate in if they take place off site.
4. If any of your scouts have completed awards or advancement report it to the Cubmaster or Pack Advancement chairperson.
5. Review plans for your next meeting.
6. Thank your co-leaders and den chief (if you have one).
