I am about to sign my son up for the tiger cubs and we were both bummed to find out that he was going to wear a t-shirt and not the uniform. So now if this is true it is a great change. The tigers will now feel like they are as special as the others. I have yet to find out the cost but in the long run I think it would be worth it to be able to have my son feel like he is really a part of the scouts.
