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, Wolf, Bear, or Webelos. A boy must complete the Bobcat requirements, which include:

• Learn and say the Cub Scout motto, the Scout Oath, and the Scout Law and tell what they mean
• Show the Cub Scout sign, salute, and handshake and tell what they mean; and
• With your parent or guardian, complete the exercises in the pamphlet - How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse: A Parent's Guide.
