Bobcat Rank Requirements

No matter what age or grade a boy joins Cub Scouting, he must earn his Bobcat badge before he can advance to the rank of Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear, or Webelos. A boy must complete the Bobcat requirements, which include:

• Learn and say the Cub Scout motto, the Cub Scout Promise, and the Law of the Pack and tell what they mean;
• Show the Cub Scout sign, salute, and handshake and tell what they mean; and
• Show that you understand and believe that it is important to be honest and trustworthy.

The detailed requirements for earning the rank of Bobcat are in the front of every Cub Scout handbook.  These requirements are meant to demonstrate that the boy is making a commitment to participating in the scouting program. The goal of Pack 461 is to have all new boys complete the Bobcat Trail by the pack meeting on September 28th.  Completion of the requirements will be confirmed by the scouts' Den Leader.
