TEllett Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I had to read this part of the Tiger Cub Handbook a number of times because the terminology is poorly chosen and confusing. The IRE (or totem) is earned "[a]long the Bobcat trail," i.e., before earning his Bobcat badge (pg 15 and 16). The orange, white and black beads are earned on the way to the Tiger Cub badge (pg 17), which can't be earned until after the Bobcat badge has been earned (pg. 14). Confusingly, there is a fourth strand of beads called Tiger Track beads (what are the others called then?) which can only be AWARDED after the Tiger Cub badge has been earned, although they can be EARNED concurrently (pg. 19). Confused yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllowaScouter Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 One question... if the pack that my son is in waits until Blue & Gold to recognize achievements, is there anything that says I can't give my son his totem myself as soon as he earns it? Why wait 6 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutNut Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 If the Pack you are in waits 6 months to recognize it's Scouts for all of their achievements then you should find another Pack. This group is NOT following the Cub Scout program. Find a Pack that does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
