Team Tiger Beltloop
Pages 67-77 in your Tiger Scout Handbook
Hi Again!
Ok, today I am going to talk about your little Tiger's Team Tiger Beltloop. This is needed for the Tiger Badge!
I thought this was a great one because usually when you think of teams, you think sports. But it can mean so much more, like being a team for your family or neighborhood. And in Requirement 1, it has has some questions that will help you and your scout along the way.
Q1. My den team is: ______ fill in with your Tiger den #
Q2: My Pack team is: _______ fill in with your pack #
Q3: My school team is: ______ fill in with your school name
Q4: My neighborhood team is:_________ fill in with neighborhood name
Q5: What other teams are you on? ___ I let my son figure this out and he put our last name, with the explanation that our family is a team. I LOVED that explanation! But of course your son can do his sports team, church, science after school team, ect...
Q6: How can a team do more things than one person?___ My son put helping... What you can explain is that when helping, you do your part as each person does their part in helping and together you can accomplish great things.
Requirement 2: Make a den chart with your den that shows everyone doing something to help. Also, as one of the den jobs, lead the Pledge of Allegiance at a den meeting.
This was a little hard for us. The Pledge was easy because my son did it at a Pack meeting. But the chart was something that just kept being put on hold. So, last month (January) I just brought the supplies and helped the kids put together a chore chart. If you have to, do the same things. Bring your own supplies and just do it. LOL
Requirement 3: Pick 2 chores that you will do once a week for a month.
( Insert sarcasm here: Oh How FUN! )
My son picked feeding the dogs and washing clothes... Instead on once a week, I made him feed the dogs every morning. And clothes? You better believe he helped with every load for a month... LOL He complained a lot but I told him I do this stuff every time by myself. Then I would encourage him by saying how much of a big help he is. AND he got paid chore money. 10 cents for each dog feeding and 10 cents for each load of clothes he did.
Requirement 4: Make a chart to show 3 ways that members of your Tiger team are different from each other.
So easy! They supply the chart on page 75 and you help the kids fill it out. My son wrote that his fave food is sushi. Another kid put Salmon. I thought that was just awesome!
Requirement 5: Do an activity to help your community or neighborhood team.
If you have done Scouting for food, you can use that for this requirement. I made my son do something totally different. We just moved to Houston, TX from a smaller town. So, I contacted our old church and signed him up to volunteer for Fall Fest. So for 1 1/2 hours, my son was a candy runner. It was mostly boring in the beginning but as the night started getting busier, he had more candy to run. And before the actual event started, he got to go to the doors giving out candy in the hallway and trick or treat. I thought it was nice. There is also a small list of ideas that may be more fitting for your son that you can find on page 77.
Congrats! He has finished his Team Tiger Beltloop!!
Oh, and please always write down their completion dates of each beltloop/award. It will make things easier to find it when they ask.
