Some
of the basic written requirements are shown below. You can refer to
your Cub Scout Handbook for the complete section of Bobcat rank
requirements.
1. Learn and say the Scout Oath, with help if needed.
"On by 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.
"
2. Learn and say the Scout Law, with help if needed.
"A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly,
courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty,
brave, clean, and reverent."
3. Show the Cub Scout sign. Tell what it means.
Make the
sign with your right hand and with your arm held straight up. The
two fingers stand for the Scout Oath and the Scout Law. They look like a
wolf's ears ready to listen to Akela. Give the Cub Scout Sign when
you say the Scout Oath or Scout Law.
4. Show the Cub Scout handshake. Tell what it means.
Using
your right hand, place your first two fingers along the inside of the
other scout's wrist. This means that you help each other remember and
obey the Scout Oath and Law.
5. Say the Cub Scout motto. Tell what it means.
"Do Your Best"
6. Show the Cub Scout salute. Tell what it means.
Point
your first two fingers of your right hand out straight and close
together. Touch the tips of the fingers to your cap or if not wearing a
cap then to your eyebrow. A salute is a way to show respect. When you
salute a leader (either adult or other scout), you show him or her
that you respect their position. When you salute the flag, you show
that you are proud of your country.
