Recognition is important to young boys. The Cub Scout advancement plan provides
fun for the boys, gives them a sense of personal achievement as they earn badges, and strengthens family understanding as
adult family members work with boys on advancement projects. The Bear
Trail is for boys who are in the third grade.
Many of the activities in your Bear book can be completed at home with your family or during your Den meetings. Once
you finish an activity requirement you can have Akela sign your book showing that you have successfully completed the
activity. You can have several Akela's that will help you with your activities and sign your book including your parents,
your Den leader, and other adult caretakers.
As with the Wolf and Webelos ranks, you must first earn your Bobcat Badge before you can earn your Bear Rank. For detailed Bobcat Rank requirements check here.
There are 24 Bear achievements in four categories; boys must complete 12 of these
to earn the Bear badge. These requirements are more difficult and challenging than those for the Wolf badge. When
the boy has earned his Bear badge, he may work on electives for credit toward Arrow Points. His parent or guardian approves
his work and signs his book. He may work on electives in the Bear Book for credit toward Arrow Points until he completes
third grade. When he completes third grade, a Cub Scout may be recognized in a pack ceremony as he enters a Webelos
den. See http://usscouts.org/advance/cubscout/bear.html
