Bobcat is the joining rank for Cub Scouts (other than Lions). Since this is one of the first things they will do as members of your den or pack, it is important to make it fun. Here is a game you can play if you have a group working on Bobcat together.
To add some extra fun to this game, try playing with giant dice.

If he rolled a 4, he must demonstrate the Cub Scout Salute. If he rolled a 5, he must demonstrate the Cub Scout Handshake. If he rolled a 6, he must say the Cub Scout motto.
