To earn the Bobcat Badge the new Cub Scout must do the following: (This is usually completed at home with one’s family):
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 can you do your best to be honest when you are doing the activities in Cub Scouting.
2. Learn and say the LAW OF THE PACK. Tell what it means.
3. Tell what WEBELOS means “WE’ll BE LOyal Scouts”
4. Show the CUB SCOUT SIGN. Tell what it means.
5. Say the CUB SCOUT MOTTO. A motto is a guiding principal. “Do Your Best”
6. Give the CUB SCOUT SALUTE. Tell what it means. (Cub Scout sign to forehead)
7. Show the CUB SCOUT HANDSHAKE. Tell what it means
8. With your parent or guardian, complete the exercises in the booklet: How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse. (located in the Tiger Handbook and as an insert in the other handbooks. See Chair if you can not find yours.)
These items are the basic information that ALL Cub Scouts must learn. Which is why every boy who enters into Cub Scouting MUST earn the Bobcat Badge first.
