Make up a new game and play it with your family or members of your den or pack. Then talk with the group about the experience.

This is the easiest Tiger adventure to complete virtually in my opinion. My Tiger Jungle

With your parent, guardian, or other caring adult, go for a walk outside, and pick out two or more sights or sounds of "nature" around you. Discuss with your partner or den. Tip: The discussion can happen virtually. The walk can be completed with their family in their own yard. Point out two different kinds of that live in your area. With your parent, guardian, or other caring adult, or with your den, find out more about one of these birds. Tip: Nature centers and museums have posted videos over the past few months and could be a great resource to learn about and identify/see local birds.

Be helpful to nature by planting a plant, shrub, or tree. Learn more about the needs and growth of the item you have planted. Tip: Contact local nurseries for end of season plants and distribute ahead of time to den to plant on a virtual call if unable to do in person. Team Tiger

Dens can have virtual roles too such as meeting assistant who is unmuted the entire time and can call on other cubs to take turns and share. With your family, talk about how family members each have a role in the family team. Then pick a job that you will do to help the team. Follow through by doing that job at least three times during the next three weeks. With your den or family, participate as a team in a service project that helps our country or your community.

Identify three foods that you think would be good choices and three foods that would not be good choices. Explain the importance of hand washing before a meal and cleanup after a meal.

Do it for at least four meals. Tiger Circles: Duty to God

Discuss with your parent, guardian, den leader, or other caring adult what it means to do your duty to God. Tell how you do your duty to God in your daily life.

With a family member, attend a religious service or other activity that shows how your family expresses reverence for God. Tip: Many local churches are broadcasting their services online.

With the approval of your parent/guardian, den leader, or other caring adult, think of and then carry out an act of kindness or respect that you think shows duty to God. Tip: act of kindness could be virtually calling a lonely relative online and cheering them up, reading to them, or just chit chatting on a virtual call.
