Bobcat is the first advancement rank a boy can earn as a Cub Scout. To do this the boys must know and recite from memory The Cub Scout Promise, The Law of the Pack, tell what Webelos means, show the Cub Scout sign and tell what it means, show the Cub Scout handshake and tell what it means, say the Cub Scout motto, and give the Cub Scout salute. No matter what grade a boy joins Cub Scouts, the Bobcat badge is always the first badge he earns. The exception to this is Tiger Cubs. In Tigers, the Tiger badge is the first rank they earn, then they work on the Bobcat badge before graduating to Wolf.
