TUXIE TUESDAY WITH MAURICIO

My sisfurs have been complaining about me hogging the computer for Cat Scouts as well as hogging the blog to post about Cat Scouts. But sometimes a Cat Scout has to do what a Cat Scout has to do.

Recently several of my troop mates from the Worldwide Wildcats, a few friends from other troops and I were honored to be purrmoted to the rank of Bobcat. We had a pawsome ceremony at Cat Scouts and a nice party at Campfire afterwards.

This is my Bobcat rank membership card and patch.

I also have been busy earning more Merit Badges. I earned the Thanksgiving badge for the poem in our side-bar.

I earned the Campfire Tails badge for a true story about Mom and an angel she met, named Michael. I was required to tell the story at Campfire.

This was me practicing my song prior to going to Campfire.

This was me practicing my song prior to going to Campfire.

And just today, I earned the Sing-A-Song badge for the the song I wrote, which is printed below. I suggested this Merit badge so got 20 additional Karma points. I received 25 more points for earning it. And the Denmaster liked my song so much, I got 25 more points. How cool is that!

Mauricio’s Troop Worldwide Wildcat Anthem

I like to go camping
Winter, spring, summer and fall.
I gather all my Cat Scout buddies,
And we have ourselves a ball.

We go hiking and fishing and swimming
And are always careful that no one goes missing.
We cook s’mores and tell ghost stories
Or share in our friends’ merit badge glories.

refrain
Cat Scouts is the only life, the only life for me
So please join me at Campfire for a cup of nip tea
Where we are comrades, buddies, friends and pals
Whether we are Cat Scout guys or gals.

Cat Scouts is the happening place to be.
Cat Scouts is fun for Sammy, Raz, Sushi and Allie.
And troop Worldwide Wildcats is just the best.
We love putting our skills and talents to the test.

We’ve earned badges in mammal study, basketry and art
And celebrated our accomplishments together or apart.
It is one for all and all for one
In a troop where we know the fun has just begun.

refrain
Cat Scouts is the only life, the only life for me
So please join me at Campfire for a cup of nip tea
Where we are comrades, buddies, friends and pals
Whether we are Cat Scout guys or gals.

Many of us have the Bobcat patch on our chest
And are working hard to make our troop the best.
We are proud to be members of the Cat Scout organization
And look forward to continuing our scouting education.

So please come join us everyone.
We know that you’ll have oodles of fun
While learning the ancient and honored Cat Scout way
And having loads of fun each and everyday.

refrain
Cat Scouts is the only life, the only life for me
So please join me at Campfire for a cup of nip tea
Where we are comrades, buddies, friends and pals
Whether we are Cat Scout guys or gals.

Currently, I am ranked #3 on the Cat Scout Leader Board, in part due to the bonus points from the Sing-a-Song badge.

And lastly, since joining Cat Scouts, I have a nickname. My friend and troop mate, Sushi, gave it to me. The name is Mau, and I really like it ’cause I think it sounds like “meow” depending on an individual cat’s accent.

Hope our readers don’t mind this update as much as my sisfurs do. I know many of them are Cat Scouts as well.

Purrs, hugs and a Cat Scout salute, Bobcat Mauricio
