Bobcat Badge Worksheet

This worksheet could be used in a den meeting at home for scouts working on their Bobcat badge.
Bobcat is the first rank each scout must obtain, and then they start to work on the same badge as the rest of the den. So a new scout joining in Bear year will first work on the Bobcat, then on the Bear. Skipping the Tiger and Wolf.

Cub Scout Leader Book Resources




CubMaster.org has a online version of the Cub Scout Leader Book at http://cubmaster.org/virtualcubscoutleaderbook.asp. It covers it all from the history of scouting, core values, how to get parents involved, leader training, activity and meeting ideas, etc.




Cubmaster.org and its parent USScouts.org have troves of great detailed ideas, as well as "big picture" information.




One example is the great "PowWow Midway of Topics". A must visit for leaders and active scouting parents.
