Team Tiger

Cub Scouts · Adventure, Required

Printable worksheet (PDF)

Team Tiger is about working together. You'll play games with rules, take on a job for your team, and help with a service project. Being a good teammate is a skill you'll use everywhere.

Why it's worth it

Tigers are strong alone, but a team can do even more. In Team Tiger you'll find out why games need rules, take on a real job for your den, play on a team, and help your community with a service project. You'll learn that a good team member listens, takes turns, and cheers for everyone, which helps on the playground, in class, and at home.

Start this week

  1. Ask your den leader what den jobs are available, like flag holder, snack helper, or cleanup captain.
  2. Teach your family a game and explain the rules before you start.
  3. Think of one way your den could help people in your town, and share it at the next meeting.

Requirements · 4

Every official requirement and part, numbered to match Scouting America, in plain language. Sign off against the official wording (opens in a new tab).

  1. Requirement 1

    Play a game that has rules with your den or family; talk about why rules matter in that game

    Tip: Play a game like Red Light, Green Light, then talk about what would happen if there were no rules.

    For example: Play musical chairs, then try it with no rules: everyone runs anywhere and grabs any chair. Talk about why the rules made it fair and fun.

  2. Requirement 2

    With your adult partner, pick a job that helps your team and do it at least once

    Tip: Pick a den job, like flag holder or cleanup captain, and do it at a meeting.

    For example: As cleanup captain, you remind everyone to put supplies away at the end of the meeting, check that the floor is clear, and help the youngest Tigers finish.

  3. Requirement 3

    Play a game of two or more teams with your den or with two other family members; afterward, talk about what being on a team means and what makes a good teammate

    Tip: Play a two-team game like tug-of-war or relay, then share one thing a good teammate did.

    For example: Play a relay with two teams. Afterward, share what a good teammate did, like cheering for a slow runner, passing the baton gently, or saying "good job" to the other team.

  4. Requirement 4

    Take part in a service project

    Tip: Join your den in a simple service project, like collecting donations or cleaning up a park.

    For example: Your den makes cards for a senior center, or collects mittens and hats for a coat drive. You help carry the donations and see where they go.

Places to visit

Ask an adult to set it up, and go with your family, den, patrol, or crew.

  • A food pantry, coat drive, or animal shelter

    You can see how your den's donations or help make a real difference for people or animals.

    How: Have your den leader call ahead and ask what they need and whether young children can help with their families.

Talk about it together

  • What would happen at school if there were no rules?
  • How did your den job help the whole team?
  • What does a good teammate do when the team is losing?
  • Who did your service project help, and how do you think they felt?
