How about a 2-sided poster of these stamps depicting Scouting in Italy -

If you hunt around the Italian Scouting site you might find some other pictures you could use.

Thanks. Great ideas for the table, however I need a project for the tigers to do as the centerpiece.

A centerpiece...hmmm...How about a cardboard model of the leaning tower or the coloseum? You could do it yourselves...or find and make something like this...

Here's a gondola - you could fill it with mints or little Cub Scout figures made of pipe cleaners:

Why not let each Tiger Team come up with their own centerpiece? It would be a great family project, each boy would be able to create his own vision instead of creating yours, and you would end up with extra centerpieces that could be used for the visitor, or serving tables.

 

If that is not enough incentive, it would also fulfill Tiger Elective #2.
