Thank You I didn't Know about any of that stuff . Going to look into it. He will let us plant stuff, he let my Tiger den plant some brushes for our backyard jungle requirement .

My tiger den needs to do a service project for our den meetings place . I live in a co-op and we have our den meetings in the party room of my building, Thanks to the super of my building he allows us to use the space for free . He was a scout himself . I need some ideas . I thought of having the boys each make a thank you card , and each boy bring a fruit so we can make him a fruit basket. Please help thank you. Jennifer

when I Joined in August as the Tiger Den leader , our packs old cubmaster told me I needed to do the youth protection training . He never mentioned any other training. I found out about training from the scout store . I have done a lot of the online training course . now that I know about them looking into all .

Thank you so much everyone .

welcome

Thank you every one for your kind words . I do have a Assistant Den Leader but she is one of the parents I have a problem with . She doesn't show up to events or meetings, she brings up events her son would enjoy and that have nothing to do with requirements in the book. My son in the beginning didn't really like scouting but once I showed him how much fun it could be now he can't wait for den meetings. I tell the parents before hand what pages we will be going over so they aren't blind sided, but I get a lot of excuses why they didn't go over them. I have a lot going on myself, I work full time , I have an older son with special needs that's takes up most of my down time. My tiger scout is in baseball , Sunday school , but we find the time to do our scout stuff .

Hello to all My name is Jennifer and i am a Tiger den leader , this is my 1st time in cub scouts so I am learning with my den as we go. I started the year with 8 Tigers now I have 6. The biggest problem I am having is with the parents . They don't work on activities at home with there scouts . There are some requirements that have to be completed at home and they don't do them. My son has completed 5 out of the 6 required adventures and the rest of the den have done 2 so far. I always set up field trips for the boys but i get a small turn out or just me and my son show up. I am getting so frustrated . I have sat with just the parents and gone over the handbook because a few of them were confused, and I showed them what they can do on there own and what not to worry about because we will do as a den. I'm not sure what else to do to help them . Thanks for listen
