I don't know, but that's why they went to the other Church's program.

Here's what it says on lds.org scouting page.

“For boys and young men ages 8-18 in the United States, the Church endorses affiliation with BSA Cub Scout packs, Scout troops, Varsity teams, and Venturing crews. These programs are also endorsed for boys and young men overseas who are attached to military bases or other U.S. expatriates who wish their children to have a BSA Scouting experience. We do not endorse or sponsor Tiger Cub or Exploring programs, and inasmuch as the Church sponsors its own Young Women activity programs, we do not sponsor Girl Scout or Venturing programs for girls or young women.”

I just thought it was odd. Scouting is so much a part of LDS programs, that you would think they would have tiger cubs.

Oh well.
