Earning Your Stripes, a Tiger Elective Adventure
The Tiger Den Leader guide says, “In this adventure, Tigers will learn about what it means to wear Tiger orange. The color orange represents warmth, cheer, enthusiasm, creativity, and energy. Tigers are proud to wear the color orange; they like to show their enthusiasm by helping others and by using their energy to complete tasks. Helping others provides the opportunity to build self-esteem, give goodwill and create a cheerful attitude. The warmth in the color orange is shared by using proper manners when speaking to others.”
