First graders, and anyone beyond that grade who is new to Cub Scouting, completes the Bobcat Badge prior to working on their grade-specific badge of rank. Kindergartners, who are Lions, do not work on the Bobcat Badge. 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.
