The Bobcat Badge: Scouter's First Rank

The first rank for any Cub Scout, regardless of age, is the Bobcat.

To earn the Bobcat badge, the Cub Scout will learn the Cub Scout Sign, the Cub Scout Promise, the Cub Scout Motto, the Cub Scout Handshake, the Law of the Pack, and the meaning of Webelos.

Bobcat Badge Requirements

1.    Learn and say the Cub Scout Promise and complete the Honesty Character Connection.

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.

Practice: Discuss with family members why it is important to be trustworthy and honest and how you can do your best to be honest when you are doing the activities of Cub Scouting.

3.    Tell what Webelos means.

The Cub Scout Promise

I, [say your 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.

The 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.

The Meaning of Webelos

Webelos means WE'll BE LOyal Scouts.

The Cub Scout Sign

Make the sign with your right hand, holding your arm straight up. The two extended fingers stand for two points of the Cub Scout Promise - help and obey. Give the sign whenever you repeat the Cub Scout Promise or the Law of the Pack.

The Cub Scout Handshake

The Cub Scout handshake is made by extending the RIGHT index and middle fingers, and placeing them alongside the wrist of the person with whom you are shaking hands.

The Cub Scot Motto

Do your best!

The Cub Scout Salute

Salute with your right hand. Hold your fingers as you do for the Scout Sign but with the first two fingers close together. Touch the tips of those fingers to your cap's bill. If you aren't wearing a cap, touch your forehead above the right eyebrow. Salute the U.S. flage during ceremonies. Sometimes you may also salute your leaders or other Webelos Scouts to show goodwill and courtesy.

Preventing Child Abuse

Your book contains a pull-out booklet called "How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse." Talk with your parent or guardian about the questions and answers in the section called "What If . . . ."
