​Bobcat Requirements
The Cub Scout program has changed! Many aspects of the Bobcat Requirements have changed for the 2015-2016 season. See the Bobcat requirements at the beginning of any of the Den handbooks.
To earn the Bobcat rank the new Cub Scout must do the following:
1. Learn and say the Scout Oath, with help if needed.
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.
