SHARING THE RESPONSIBILITIES
Tiger Cubs BSA operates using the concept of shared leadership. Each boy-adult partner team assumes the responsibility of hosting one or more den meetings. (The actual number will depend on the size of the den.) The host team plans the meeting program and location.
Through this sharing of leadership, each boy and adult is given an opportunity to lead without the pressure of a continuing leadership commitment. Shared leadership is an important part of Tiger Cubs BSA because direct partner involvement is important for boys of this age.
The Coordinator's role is very simple:
- Coordinate plans for involving the Tiger Cub Den in Cub Scout pack activities.
- Maintain shared leadership by seeing to it that the responsibility for hosting den activities rotates among boy-adult partner teams within the den.
- Maintain the Tiger Cub Resource Book and distribute appropriate big idea support pages to the host team. Also, maintain the Tiger Cub Instant Recognition Kit and distribute the paw and beads as indicated.
- Assist the Cubmaster with the Tiger Cub Den graduation.
