It was great to see so many new families at our Join Scout Night event. Missed it? No worries! Join any time!
The Bobcat badge is the first rank a Cub Scout earns. Regardless of when the Scout joins Cub Scouting, he must earn the Bobcat badge before receiving any other award or rank. Bobcat requires the Scout know the Scout Oath, Scout Law, Cub Scout sign, Cub Scout handshake, Cub Scout Motto, and Cub Scout salute. These will be demonstrated and practiced at Pack meetings and den meetings.
In addition, the Scout works with his parent or guardian to complete the exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent's Guide located in the front of every rank handbook.
