Bear Cub Rank  

 

• The Bear Cub rank is aimed at third graders or those boys who are eight years old.  To earn the Bear badge, a Cub Scout must complete 12 achievements out of a possible 24 that are offered in the book. The achievements are grouped in 4 major areas, GOD, COUNTRY, FAMILY, and SELF. Within each group, a required number of achievements must be completed. Also, any achievements that they do NOT use to earn the Bear Badge may be used to earn Arrow Points.

Highlights of the Bear Cub Program

 

• There are many activities to explore as Bear Cubs. Activities are used to achieve the aims of Scouting—citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness. The Electives are a chance for each boy to explore new skills.

• Bear Cubs attend den meetings in an exciting environment led by the leaders of  the den. Each meeting has a theme and the activities revolve around that theme, giving the boys exposure to many different activities.

• Bear Cubs become more involved in the Scouting experience by participating in a wider variety of activities while still working on achievements at home with their families. They are learning more independence and responsibility with each meeting,
