Friday - Bobcat Ceremony

The boys will be completing their Bobcat recognition at the Pack Meeting on Friday at 7PM. They will recite the information with a leader as part of Den 7. I am sure they will give assistance as needed. The ceremony is done in the dark and there are candles and a drum beating so just prepare your guys (:

Please have your Tigers prepared by firming up the following (These are all on the right sidebar of the Blog):

1. Say the Cub Scout Promise.
2. Say the Law of the Pack. Tell what it means.
3. Tell what Webelos means.
4. Make the Cub Scout sign and tell what it means.
5. Show the Cub Scout handshake and tell what it means.
6. Say the Cub Scout motto.
7. Give the Cub Scout salute and tell what it means.
8. With your adult partner, complete the “Bobcat Requirements” section in “How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse: “ A Parent’s Guide.” ****For those who do not have the Tiger book yet you can go to the following site and review the information from page 11 on in PDF. The information is rather sensitive so please discuss this with your children in a way you feel most comfortable - http://www.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/46-014.pdf

Background
Once prepared the boy is then eligible to receive his Bobcat Badge in a meaningful pack ceremony.

A boy saves the Bobcat Badge. When he transitions into the Wolf Cub Scout program, he will wear the Bobcat badge on the blue uniform shirt on the left pocket in the top position.
No matter what age or grade a boys joins Cub Scouting, he must earn his Bobcat badge before he can be awarded the rank of Wolf, Bear, or Webelos.

They are also passing out awards so Gavin will be calling you guys to gather achievements. They are also doing a whole Native American show and tell type activities so it should be fun.
