Bobcat BADGE Requirements

The first rank that EVERY boy MUST earn when entering the Cub Scouting Program after the Tiger Cub program is the Bobcat rank. Tiger Cubs earn the Tiger Cub rank THEN the Bobcat rank.  Boys joining after the Tiger Cub year start with the Bobcat.

To earn the Bobcat rank the new Cub Scout must do the following:

  1. Learn and say the CUB SCOUT PROMISE and complete the Honesty Character Connection.

"I .....(cub's name).... promise to do my best
To do my duty to God and my country,
To help other people, and
To obey the Law of the Pack. "

 

  • Know: Discuss these questions with your family. What is a promise? What does it mean to "keep your word?" What does honesty mean? What does it mean to "do your best?"
  • Commit: Discuss these questions with your family. Why is a promise important? Why is it important for people to trust you when you give your word? When might it be difficult to keep your word? List examples.
