As others have stated, it is official. I have the letter in front of me.
The letter is datedDec 5, 1997 from G. Richard Williamson, National
Director, Cub Scout Division.
" To earn the recognition, Tiger Cubs must have their adult partner with
them when participating in the Sports and Academics program."

Also in this letter there is redefinition of family camping. The policy
is " The local council or unit provides all elements of the outdoor
experience on one or more days with major program areas staffed. Many
times this includes food service, housing, and complete program
schedule. Cub Scout unit family programs must have local council
approval. These events must be held on council owned or managed property
<or at the local council's option, in council approved city, county,
state or federal parks.> This policy is effective January 1, 1998."
