Tiger Electives
After completing the fifteen Achievements required for
the Tiger Cub Rank Badge, the Tiger Cub can be awarded Tiger Track
Beads, which are YELLOW disks attached to the Totem. One bead is
awarded for each group of TEN Electives the Tiger Cub completes. A boy can
work on both Achievements and electives concurrently, but he can't receive
Tiger Track beads until he has earned the Tiger Cub Badge.

Remember, there are NO performance requirements for a boy. Simply
participating and doing one's best in an activity constitutes
completion. |
