MichelleDM 10 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 My son is a Tiger Cub. His den is unfortunately not the most active and I was wondering if the boys are required to complete ALL 50 electives or are there a minimum due (for advancement) Link to post Share on other sites
The Blancmange 67 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hello & welcome to the forum. You actually don't have to do any electives for rank advancement in the Cub program; hence the name elective. For the Tiger program, he has to complete all of the "Acheivements" in order to receive his Tiger badge. Once he has completed those, he can receive elective beads for the electives he has done (he can do the electives before completing the acheivements, but can't actually be awarded the beads yet. It is similar for the Wolf and Bear years, but he receives arrow patches instead of beads for the electives. Link to post Share on other sites

Scoutfish 16 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Electives could also be called: "Above and beyond" They are above and beyond what is required to get rank. They get you extra bling on your uniform, and pride for doing them, but cannot be held against you for not doing them. Link to post Share on other sites
