My son recently became a Tiger Cub. He and I are very excited about the program. We have worked diligently to accomplish lots of things. When we have long weekends (such as a Friday - Monday break from school), we pack those days with cub scout things, rather than sit around bored or just watching TV. As hard as it may be to believe, we earned about 7 pins and belt loops in a long weekend just last month. Several days before the long weekend, I went online and printed off the requirements for Heritage, Communicating, Citizenship, Art, Computer, Music and Language & Culture (we had just had an exchange student which made corresponding with another country easy and fun, my husband is a minister which makes the citizenship requirements easy to complete in and around our church). I highlighted the things that needed to be done for each belt loop and pin, and we just put our nose to the grind and he did them. Yes, it took most of the weekend, but it was fun, educational, involved the whole family on some and IT CAN BE DONE. We have another long weekend coming up next week and I have intentions of doing the same thing again. We have gotten some of the easier ones out of the way now, so I hope we can complete all the requirements for belt loops for Astronomy, Collecting, Map & Compass, Marbles, Geography, Wildlife and Swimming. Some requirements cover a week or so, of course, but I have no doubt the lady in question with your Pack, if she is really into the program as I am, was in fact able to accomplish all she said she did with her sons. It's fun and a great way for a mom to spend time with her son.
