Tiger Cub Coordinator: (Call Tigers forward by name and their parent)
As a group you have taken part in Big Ideas together and now the time has come for you to go forth and seek new adventures through Cub Scouting.
Would all Tigers and parents repeat the Tiger Cub Promise after me:
I promise to love God, my family and my country
And to learn about the world.
Akela! I present to you these Tiger Cubs and their parent; who have participated in the Big Ideas Program and are ready to broaden their minds through the Cub Scouting Program.
Cubmaster: Tiger Cubs, we are happy to welcome you and your parents across the bridge into Cub Scouting and Pack [number]. (Boys and parents cross bridge with parent following his son)
I'm sure you have had a lot of fun as Tiger Cubs and as recognition for your work, I present you with your Tiger Graduation certificate and badge. I would also like to present the Tiger parent pin, which you may now present to your parent.
As a Cub Scout, I promise you will have even more fun than as a Tiger. As your first act as Cub Scouts, I'm going to ask you to repeat after me the Cub Scout Promise and the Law of the Pack. (Show them the Cub Scout Sign and read each line, waiting for them to repeat the line before continuing.)
Cub Scout Promise
I ________, promise to do my best,
To do my duty,
To God and my country,
To help other people, and
To obey the Law of the Pack
Law of the Pack
The Cub Scout follows Akela.
The Cub Scout helps the Pack go.
The Pack helps the Cub Scout grow.
The Cub Scout gives goodwill.
Turning to our new Cub Scout Parents, your son will need you to continue to assist him along the Cub Scout Trail. If you are willing to accept these responsibilities, signify by saying "I will."
Please place your left hand on your sons shoulder, and give the Cub Scout sign with your right hand and repeat after me:
Parent Promise
I ______ promise to do my best
To help my son to be a good Cub Scout
To encourage him to fulfill the Cub Scout Promise and obey the Law of the Pack.
To assist him in his Cub Scout achievements and electives,
To cooperate with the Den Leader, Cubmaster, and Pack Committee members, and
To participate actively in Cub Scouting.
On behalf of Pack [number], I'd like to welcome our newest Cub Scouts and their parents. Bobcat Ceremony-Digging Dirt
Cubmaster, Asst. Cubmaster, Den Leader(s)

Equipment: A Box of Sand, a small shovel, Awards in plastic covering

Cubmaster: As a boy comes to the pack, his first badge that he earns is the Bobcat Badge. This is the only Badge that is required for all ranks in Cub Scouting.

Asst Cubmaster: Will the Den Leaders please come to our dirt pile.

Asst. Cubmaster: Den Leader, Please call forth the Candidates for the Bobcat Rank and their parents, and have them join us at the dirt pile (Den Leader calls the boys forward)

Cubmaster: Young boys love to play in the dirt. They dig holes or build little cities to play with their little cars and trucks. They learn the basics about what you can do with a pile of sand or dirt, besides throwing it in their sister’s hair.

Cubmaster: Please repeat with me the Cub Scout Oath. ( I, say you name) promise to do my best to god and my country, to help other people, and to obey the Law of the Pack.

Asst. Cubmaster: Repeat with me the Law of the Pack: (Boys give the Cub Scout Sign)
The Cub Scout follows Akela,
The Cub Scout helps the Pack go,
The Pack helps the Cub Scout grow,
The Cub Scout gives Goodwill

Cubmaster: ( hands the shovel to the Bobcat) Please dig into the dirt and receive your badge. Hand the badge to your parent and you keep the parent pin. ( All Bobcats do this)

Asst Cubmaster: As you see, the badge is upside down on the card. As building something in dirt reminds us of our new adventure, so does this remind us of Doing a Good Turn. After you Scout has done a good turn, sew it on the proper place of the uniform. Scout, present the parent pin to your parent.

Cubmaster: As digging in the dirt is the first thing most boys do, so are the basic ideals of the Cub Scout Program. By building boys with character, we always use the premise that we should all use, the Cub Scout Motto, “Do Your Best.” This is the basic structure that all Cob Scouts learn and build in the dirt.

Den Leader: Will all Scouts rise and join our new Bobcats by repeating the Cub Scout Motto. (on the count of three, all Cubs join in by saying, Do Your Best)
Cubmaster: We welcome our new Bobcats, Please rejoin your Den. Lets give these Scouts a round of applause ( clap in a circle motion)
