Tiger Cub Craft Projects
The Boy Scouts of America organization offers activities and opportunities for different age levels. The first rank of Cub Scouts (pre-Boy Scouts) is the Tiger Cub. The Tiger Cub earns his badge by attending den meetings and completing different activities. Often, den meetings feature a craft project, in which Cub Scouts practice a lesson. There are diverse craft projects suitable for Tiger Cub Scout meetings.

Puppets
-
Make a puppet of a tiger cub to represent the Cub Scout group. Print a black and white picture of a tiger cub and instruct children to use colored markers to color the picture. Alternatively, have children draw their own tiger cub pictures by free hand. Cut out the picture and glue or tape to the end of a tongue depressor. Another option is to make a finger puppet. Cut off the fingers of a black stretch glove. Draw the face of a tiger cub on a piece of poster board. Cut out the face and glue to the tip of a glove finger.
Tiger Paw Prints
-
Make a picture of tiger cub paw prints. Create a stencil of tiger cub paw prints by drawing the paw prints on poster board and cutting them out with a utility knife. An adult should complete this step for young children. Use the stencil to paint or color paw prints on different objects. For instance, decorate a light switch plate or a lamp shade. Decorate a T-shirt or tote bag by using the stencil with fabric paint.

Collage
-
Make a collage of objects, symbols and images that represent the mission, goals and values of the Cub Scout group. For instance, use a picture of a tree to represent respect for nature. Use a picture of a bicycle to represent health and physical fitness. Cut out pictures from magazines and old textbooks. Assemble pictures in a collage on a piece of poster board. Alternatively, focus the collage on a particular theme or topic, such as service, good citizenship or personal character.
Place Mat
-
Make a place mat to reinforce the lessons of Cub Scouts. Using markers on a piece of construction paper, list the ten purposes of Cub Scouting. Alternatively, write the 12 core values of Cub Scouts or the Cub Scout pledge. Decorate the space around the text with pictures or images associated with Cub Scouts. Laminate the paper by placing it between two laminating sheets. You can then use your laminated drawing as a place mat.
