Bobcat Resources
Overview
The Bobcat Badge is the first badge a Cub Scout earns when they join, with the exception of Lions (Kindergarten). The Bobcat Badge can be completed in one meeting and is designed to introduce Cub Scouts to the values of Scouting and for them to complete the exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parents’ Guide with a parent or legal guardian.

Digital Tools
Scoutbook
Once you are a registered Den Leader, Scoutbook is your online resource to assist you with tracking and reporting awards for the youth in your den. In addition, it provides the ability to set up calendars and reminders to parents for events and activities.
Scoutbook is free for everyone registered in Scouting. Once you are registered, you or another leader can set up who is in your den and off you go!
Scouting App
The Scouting App provides parents the ability to see how their child is progressing, get notifications about meetings, and inform Den Leaders when a Cub Scout has completed a requirement at home.
Make sure all your parents download the Scouting App for free onto their mobile device.
