cajuncody 10 Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Am I right in the assumption that the Tiger Cub belt totem is retired once a child moves into a Wolf den or may the boys still wear them on their belts? Cajun Looking forward to our first den meeting tonight!! Link to post Share on other sites
johndaigler 10 Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 retire em! if you can get em back, use em next year or see if there's a Tiger group somewhere that wants to save a few pennies. This is one piece of the uniform that even wolves don't want to wear. With the tigers going blue, I give National two years before they do away with the totem and use the pocket protector approach like the Wolves and Bears. jd(This message has been edited by johndaigler) Link to post Share on other sites
Twocubdad 665 Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Normally the totem is retired and the Tiger patch get sewn on the left shirt pocket. But if a boy is proud of his totem and wants to wear it, I'm sure not going to say anything to him. Link to post Share on other sites
EagleInKY 14 Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I believe your assumption is correct. Link to post Share on other sites

wolfpack1369 10 Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Well they went to the pocket flap and are discontinueing the belt totem. so let him put it in his collection , and enjoy.The belt loop does get taken off the uniform when he earns his badge.just like the welbelos arm flappy thing when joining boy scouts.

ScoutNut 147 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Bears usually do not take off their Wolf beads once they graduate to Bears. They have beads for both levels on their pocket totem along with arrowheads for both levels on their shirt. There is nothing that says a Tiger belt totem can't be worn along with the Wolf/Bear pocket totem. It is up to the Scout. This year's Tigers will not have that option, unless they are still using the old belt totems instead of the new Tiger pocket ones. With the pocket totems the Tigers witll have to retire them once they move to Wolf because they can't wear 2 totems on the same pocket! Tigers do not however, have to retire their pocket or belt totems once they receive their Tiger rank badge. They continue to wear them and add the elective beads as they are earned.
