Bobcat

The first badge a Cub Scout must earn is the Bobcat badge. He had to memorize a whole bunch of stuff, but he got it done. We did the Bobcat ceremony tonight. He's very excited about it. Especially when he found out he got to put paint on us too!

This isn't an exact, but it's the basics to explain the paint on our faces.

BLUE is from the sky. The paw print of the Bobcat on your forehead is the spirit of the bobcat. This reminds you to do your best on the Cub Scout Trail.

YELLOW is from the sun. The marks under your eyes will help you see the light of the Cub Scout trail and they symbolize the bright spirit of Cub Scouting.

WHITE is for purity. The mark on your nose helps you know right from wrong as you go along the Cub Scout trail.

RED is for courage. The mark on your chin reminds you to always speak the truth.

GREEN stands for the spirit of nature. The marks on each cheek will guide you to live in harmony with the great outdoors.

**The boys will now paint their parents nose with a white stripe. The boys love this part.

again WHITE is for Love and guidance, your parents are always with you in your heart and in your spirit. They will always do the right thing and will help you achieve all your Scout goals and keep you on the track of life until you are a man and can soar with the Eagles.
