Being a Tiger is a lot of fun! Meeting with your den, following the den leader, working with your adult partner, pack meetings, and going to see places are all different ways to have fun.
One way you can have fun as a Tiger is by playing active games. Playing active games is also an easy way to get exercise and build your muscles. Running and jumping are good exercise, but just moving around is good for you too! Any kind of activity will help your brain and the rest of your body and help you stay healthy. In this elective, you will have a chance to play active games with your den, with your partner, and with your family. Playing games with other people is more fun than playing alone. Just remember to be a good Scout when you are playing games.
Practice the Scout Law by being friendly, courteous, and cheerful. Play fair, take turns, and be a good sport!
