Cub Scout Pack 530 BEAR PAGE

---

Any boy may earn Bear achievements and electives if he is in the third grade, or is nine years old. To earn the Bear badge, a boy must complete 12 of the 24 specified achievements listed below. He can select the ones he wants to do from four different groups: God, Country, Family, and Self. The Progress Towards Ranks badge is available as an incentive during the Bear program to encourage a Cub on his achievement work. After earning his Bear badge, a boy can begin working on his Bear electives to earn his gold and silver Arrow Points. A boy may count any extra achievement requirements he earns as arrow point credits. If a Bear-aged boy is new to Cub Scouting, he must complete the Bobcat trail before beginning work on the Bear achievements.
