Tigers - Den 7
Den Leaders: Amy Cross, Timothy Joyner, Brett Miller
Tigers are 7 years old or are in the first grade, and join Cub Scouting with their parents or adult guardian. This is unique relative to other ranks in Cub Scouting. Tigers and their adult partners are just that, partners. They attend meetings together, go on adventures like field trips together, and complete requirements together.

PPC also serves as the Charter Organization for Boy Scout Troop 65 and Venturing Crew 1465. Without Philadelphia Presbyterian's support, the work of Pack, Troop and Crew would not be possible.
