Bobcat Badge
After earning his Tiger Cub Badge (or before any boy can earn any rank thereafter) , he must FIRST complete the Bobcat requirements and earn his Bobcat Badge. So, regardless of a qualifying boy's age, he must complete the Bobcat Trail as the first step in his Cub Scouting adventure. To earn the Bobcat rank the new Cub Scout must do all of the following:
To do my duty to God and my country,
To help other people, and
To obey the Law of the Pack. "
WHAT DOES THE PROMISE MEAN?
Promise... To promise means you will keep your word when you tell someone you will do something. People will trust you when you keep your promises.
Do my best... We are not all alike, so when we do our best it means that we have tried as hard as we can.
Do my duty... We know what is right and what is wrong so we know what we should do at all times. When we do our duty to God, this means we practice our religion at home and at our place of worship. When we do our duty to our country, we stand up for our country. Be proud that you are an American. Stand up for your rights and the rights of all Americans.
Help other people... Do things for people even when you are not asked. Be good to people; help them and don't expect to be rewarded.
Obey the Law of the Pack... Be a good Cub Scout and be proud that you are one.
The Cub Scout helps the pack go.
The pack helps the Cub Scout Grow.
The Cub Scout gives goodwill."
WHAT DOES THE LAW OF THE PACK MEAN?
Helps the pack go... You should go to den meetings and pack meetings and help your den in work and play. Help your pack in good will efforts and money-earning projects.
Helps the Cub Scout grow... The pack gives you a chance to learn new skills and to meet new friends. The pack also gives you a chance to be proud of yourself when you earn each new rank.
Gives goodwill... A Cub Scout is kind and thinks about making other people happy.
"WE'll BE LOyal Scouts" means that you will keep your Cub Scout Promise.
 | Make this sign with your right hand. Hold your arm up straight. Do not bend your elbow. The two fingers stand for the two points of the Promise-to help other people and to obey. They look like a wolf's ears ready to listen to Akela. When you say the Cub Scout Promise or the Law of the Pack, give the Cub Scout sign. This is the sign of Cub Scouts all over the world.

| When you shake hands, use your right hand. Put the first fingers along the inside of your friend's wrist. This means that you are brothers in Cub Scouting and that both of you help other people and obey the Law of the Pack.
