Tigers only have five achievements to complete to earn their badge. So depending on how often you are meeting, around December most of your Tigers are either finished with their requirements or at least well on their way. This is a great time to do a den meeting focused on music.
This den meeting plan completes Tiger Elective 6 – Song Time and Tiger Elective 7 – Play Along. It also completes the requirements for the Music belt loop.
There are so many beautiful carols and hymns which can be sung this time of year. But if your Scouts are anything like my sons, they’ll really have fun singing something silly. So I’ve include a couple of goofy songs on the side. If you can, have the den teach one of the songs they learned to the pack at the next pack meeting.
