materials on songs, ceremonies, family programs, the
Cub Scout Academics and Sports program, and outdoor

a U.S. flag for opening and closing ceremonies.
These may be furnished by the pack, along with
flag stands.
• Dens will need items for projects and games. Since
the den meeting place may be different each month,
it can be a good idea to have a “travel box” that
goes to each den site. It could include things such
as crayons, paint, paintbrushes, glue, scissors, paper,
rulers, pencils, wood pieces, cord or string, spools,
plastic bottle caps, jar lids, aluminum foil, leather
scraps, beads, craft feathers, and fabric. Den families
could donate or loan these.
Advancement
In Scouting, advancement is the process by which a
member meets certain requirements and earns recognition.
Boys in Cub Scouting work on advancement with their
families. The Tiger Cub advancement program is a blend
of activities boys do in their home and activities they do

a Tiger Cub badge, Wolf badge, Bear badge, or Webelos
badge. Help your Tiger Cub through the steps of the
Bobcat trail. Along each step, sign “Akela’s OK.” The den
