Bobcat Ceremony - will be held at Pack meeting on Sept 25th in the gym. This is for all new scouts Tiger rank and above, and all Tigers. Bobcat is the first rank (other than Lion) that the scouts MUST earn before they can earn any other rank. Their den leaders should be telling you about requirements where scouts learn pledge, oath, law and motto. Ceremony consists of parents/guardians participating and painting the scout's face. We will have alternatives for those scouts that have an aversion to face paint. You do not want to miss this if you have a new scout!

A/B Medical forms - these forms need to be filled out for every scout and everyone attending one of our overnight trips. The form is available here. 

Scout Questionnaire - this form is for those parents that would like to share information on the scout that would help our den leaders give your scout a better experience. The form is available here. 


Please let me know if you have any questions!
