ALL CUBS – BOBCAT ADVANCEMENT

The Bobcat is the first advancement your Cub will earn. Each year all Cub Scouts, both new and returning, will go through this advancement. This places and emphasis on living the Scouting Values and Principles through the Scout Oath and Scout Law. (See Below).

You and your Cub will go through this advancement during the first or second weekly meetup, practice at home, and in early September be awarded the belt loop for their current rank. In addition to learning the Scout Oath and Law, you will learn and complete various other requirements, increasing as your Cub matures during their Cub Scout tenure.

The Cub Scout Motto

Do Your Best!


The Scout Oath

On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.


The Scout Law

The Scout Law has 12 points. Each is a goal for every Scout. A Scout tries to live up to the Law every day. It is not always easy to do, but a Scout always tries.
A Scout is:

CHEERFUL. Look for the bright side of life. Cheerfully do tasks that come your way. Try to help others be happy.
THRIFTY. Work to pay your own way. Try not to be wasteful. Use time, food, supplies, and natural resources wisely.

REVERENT. Be reverent toward God. Be faithful in your religious duties. Respect the beliefs of others.
