All boys, regardless of when they join, must first pass the requirements of the Bobcat badge. These are the fundamentals of Cub Scouts including the Law of the Pack, the Cub Scout Handshake, the Scout Salute, and the Cub Scout Promise. These requirements are outlined in the front of the handbook for each rank.
The Bear rank is for 3rd grade (or age 9) boys. 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. Either the parents or the Den Leaders may sign the Scout's book when he has satisfactorily completed the work. After receiving the Bear badge, the Cub may work on electives found in the handbook to earn Arrow Points.
Den meetings will be held every Monday starting at 6:30 P.M.
at the Presbyterian Church unless there is a go-see-it scheduled. No meeting will occur on holidays and/or when there is no school.
These den meeting plans are a guide. Your scout's Den Leader may be using their own plans, so check with them to verify.
