Adults, here is a patch for your Tiger Cub, sew it beneath his right pocket. Tigers, here is a pin for your adult partners who worked with you through your deeds as Tigers. Place the pin on their collar. Here, too, is your certificate for all to see. As your Tiger Cub Coach, I bid you farewell and show you the path of a new challenge: the challenge of Cub Scouts. Each step you take tells you what you must learn, so you can earn your first rank of Bobcat. Walk the bridge of Cub Scouts and meet your new leaders.
