 Cub Scout:  Bobcat Badge
When you join the Cub Scouts, no matter how old you are, you become a Bobcat first.
You must complete eight steps to become a Bobcat:

                Motto:
                      Do Your Best
 

            Cub Scout
                      Promise:
                    I,......, 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.

              Law of the
                        Pack:
                      The Cub Scout follows Akela.
                      The Cub Scout helps the pack go.
                     The pack helps the Cub Scout grow.
                      The Cub Scout  gives goodwill.
 

                                         Akela: Your leader at home or in the Den
 

Tell what WEBELOS means

            "WE'll BE LOyal Scouts "

THE SALUTE. The Cub Scout salute means you respect our
 country's flag or the leader you are saluting. Salute with your right hand.
 If you are wearing your Cub Scout cap, place your two fingers on the brim.
  If you do not have on a cap, place your two fingers over your eyebrow.

.
CUB SCOUT SIGN. Make this sign with your right hand. Hold
  your arm up straight. do not bend your elbow. The two fingers stand for
 the two points of the promise: to help other people and to obey.
When you say the Cub Scout Promise or the Law of the Pack, give the Cub Scout sign.
 

THE HANDSHAKE. When you shake hands, use your right hand.
Put the first two fingers along the inside of your friend's wrist. This means
that you are brothers in Cub Scouting and that both of you help other
people and obey the Law of the Pack.

The Cub Scout colors are BLUE and GOLD

The blue stands for truth and spirituality, steadfast loyalty, and the sky above

The gold stands for warm sunlight, good cheer, and happiness

Together, they symbolize what Cub Scouting 
is all about


 

  1.  Boys graduating from Tiger Cub Dens, or joining
       Cub Scouts in the Second Grade or above, begin
       advancement by earning the Bobcat Badge.

  2.    The Bobcat Badge is the very first rank that
         EVERY boy MUST earn when entering Cub Scouts.
         The purpose is to instill in the new Cub Scout, the
         8 "tracks" or basic tenets of Cub Scouting.
         This should take only a little time to complete.
