Bobcat Requirements

The Bobcat rank is the first badge awarded a new Cub Scout. As a new member, he may work on his Bobcat requirements while simultaneously working on his next rank as well. He cannot, however, receive his Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, or Arrow of Light Badge until he has completed the Bobcat requirements and earned the Bobcat badge. Boys can normally earn their Bobcat badge well within the first month of becoming a new Cub Scout.
