Becoming a Cub Scout Bear

Now that you have your Wolf, you are one step away from Cub Scouting's highest award - The Arrow of Light! Lets get moving... The Bear rank is for boys who have completed second grade (or are 9). To earn your Bear Cub Scout badge, you must complete 12 achievements. You can pick the ones you want to do from four different groups. You have a wide choice because there is 24 achievements to choose from. These requirements are somewhat more difficult and challenging than those for Wolf. When he has earned his Bear badge, he may work on electives in the Big Bear Cub Scout Book for credit toward Bear arrow points. He may also complete additional elective credit requirements from the 12 achievements he did not use in earning his Bear rank. His parent approves his work and signs his book. When he completes third grade (or is 10), a Cub Scout may graduate in a pack ceremony to the Webelos den.
