​WHO ARE BEARS

Once a Cub Scout has completed the second grade (or is 9 years old) and has earned the Bobcat Badge, he or she may start earning the Bear rank. He or she will need to purchase a Bear Scout handbook and Bear neckerchief, and Bear neckerchief slide when beginning the Bear portion of the scout trail.

​

This part of the scout trail is intended to take one school year, preparing the scout to begin earning his Webelos rank after completing third grade. In the Bear scouting program, there are 4 general achievement groups: God, Country, Family, and Self and a total of about 120 individual achievement tasks. In each group, a certain number of achievements are required to earn the Bear rank badge.
