-
The Bear rank is for boys who have finished second grade (or are 9 years old).
-
There are 24 Bear achievements in four groups. A boy must complete 12 of the achievements to be a Bear Cub Scout. These requirements are harder and more challenging than those for the Wolf badge.
-
For every three Bear achievements completed, the boy earns a red bead. When the boy has earned four beads, the Bear badge is presented to his parent or guardian at the next Pack meeting. During an impressive ceremony, the parent or guardian then presents the badge to the boy.
-
After he has earned his Bear badge, a Bear Cub Scout may work on electives to earn Arrow Points to wear under his Bear badge. He can choose from more than 100 elective projects that may show him new hobbies and teach him skills that will be useful during his Boy Scout years. When he completes 10 elective projects, he earns a Gold Arrow Point to wear under the Bear badge. For each 10 elective projects after that, he earns a Silver Arrow Point.
-
Bear Cubs may also earn belt loops and pins via the Academic and Sports Program.
