Tiger Scout Electives
Most of the scouts have now completed all the requirements for their Tiger Badges. I just need a couple more parents to report their progress on one or two things. Once the scout has completed all 15 Achievements, they can start earning the yellow disks. 1 yellow disk can be earned for every 10 electives.
Please keep track of your electives and let me know at the Den Meetings how many yellow disks have been earned.
