Bobcat Requirements

1. Learn to say the Cub Scout Promise.

   I 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.

    

2. Say the Law of the Pack. Tell what it means.

   The Cub Scout follows Akela.

   Akela is a good leader: your mother, father, Cubmaster, den leader or teacher.

   The Cub Scout helps the Pack go.

   Come to all the meetings. Think of others, and do what you can to help.

   The Pack helps the Cub Scout grow.

   Learn things from others. The Pack is here to help you!

   The Cub Scout gives goodwill.

   Smile. Be happy. Do things that make others happy. They don't have to be big things. Little things help too.

3. Tell what "Webelos" means.

   Webelos stands for WE'll BE LOyal Scouts.

4. Show the Cub Scout sign. Tell what it means.

   The two fingers stand for two parts of the Promise--"to help other people" and "to obey." They look like a wolf's ears ready to listen to Akela. Give the Cub Scout sign when you say the Promise or the Law of the Pack.

   

5. Show the Cub Scout handshake. Tell what it means.

   Here's how you shake hands with another Cub Scout. This means that you help others and will obey the Law of the Pack. 

   

6. Say the Cub Scout motto (a motto is a rule).

   DO YOUR BEST!

7. Give the Cub Scout salute. Tell what it means.

   Salute with your right hand. Hold your fingers as you do for the Cub Scout sign, but keep your two fingers together. Touch your fingers to the front of your cap. If you are not wearing a cap, touch your eyebrow. Use this salute only when wearing your uniform.

8. With your parent or guardian, complete the exercises in the parent's guide: How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse and Drug Abuse, found in your book.
