I have not seen the book for the award but had a question. Does anyone know if there are any restrictions on Tigers earning the award? It is listed in the back of the Tiger book but a pack advancement chair stated that Tigers are not eligible to earn the award, which makes no sense to me. If anyone has the book and can quote an answer on this would be nice but any help on this is appreciated.

My understanding is that everyone is assigned a number although in some cases you may have more than one. For example if you have a unit position and a council position (such as commissioner) you may have multiple numbers. If you don't know what your number is, best way is to contact your local council. I for one though do not know my number as I have not received a card in a few years and cannot find any old ones. I did receive FOS requests sent to me that had a number but when I tried using that on a BSA site, they could not find a record of that number???

Here's a few others I didn't see mentioned that would probably be good candidates *** Stand and Deliver (PG) Story of LA math teacher Jaime Escalante *** Lean on Me (PG-13) Story of Paterson NJ principal Joe Clark both involve troubled youth and the story of someone who game them a chance to succeed not necessarily always by conventional means *** Coach Carter (PG-13) about a coach who tries to instill merits of scholarship and ethics by benching his undefeated basketball team because of poor academic performance *** Radio (PG) based on the true story of a small town HS football coach who befriended a developmentally disabled man which ultimately inspires the local townfolk Of the ones previously mentioned, I like *** Mr Holland's Opus *** Follow Me Boys *** 12 Angry Men

I'm trying to find a couple of the full color Bobwhite patrol medallions and have not been very successful. These are the ones with an orange border, orange bobwhite and a yellow background. If anyone knows where I may be able to attain 1 or 2 please email me at jierad@yahoo.com. Thanks
