The first rank that EVERY boy earns when entering the Cub Scouting Program is the Bobcat rank.
These requirements are meant to demonstrate that the boy is making a commitment to participating in the scouting program.
To earn the Bobcat rank the new Cub Scout does the following:
- Learn and say the CUB SCOUT PROMISE:
"I .....(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. "
- Say the LAW OF THE PACK. Tell what it means.
"The Cub Scout follows Akela.
The Cub Scout helps the pack go.
The pack helps the Cub Scout Grow.
The Cub Scout gives goodwill."
- Tell what WEBELOS means:
"WE'll BE LOyal Scouts "
- Show the CUB SCOUT SIGN. Tell what it means.
|
Make the sign with your right hand and with your arm held straight up.

- Show the CUB SCOUT HANDSHAKE. Tell what it means.
| Using your right hand, place your first two fingers along the inside of the other boy's wrist.
|

- Say the CUB SCOUT MOTTO.
"Do Your Best"
- Give the CUB SCOUT SALUTE. Tell what it means.
|
