Bear Scouts

The Bear rank is for boys who have completed second grade (or are ages 8-9). There are 24 Bear achievements in four categories. The Cub Scout must complete 12 of these to earn the Bear badge. These requirements are somewhat more difficult and challenging than those for Wolf rank.

When the boy has earned his Bear badge, he may work on Bear electives for credit toward Arrow Points. He may work on electives in the Bear Book for credit toward Arrow Points until he completes third grade.
