Then two the den picks.
Tiger Scouts choose their last two adventures from the 17 electives below. Dens usually pick together, based on what the Scouts are curious about and what the season allows.

Special elective adventures
Scouting America lists these on their own because they need a certified instructor and an approved range, so they happen at council and district events such as day camp rather than at a den meeting, and there is no adventure page for them. Ask a den leader whether one of these counts toward a Scout’s two electives.
- Archery Tiger. Target archery, earned only at an approved event with a certified instructor and a proper range.
- Slingshot. Slingshot target shooting, earned only at an approved event with a certified instructor and range.
- BB Guns. BB gun target shooting, earned only at an approved event with a certified instructor and range.
