Bear Den
The Bear rank is for boys who have completed second grade (or who are age 8). Prior to starting down the Bear Trail, a Cub Scout must have earned his Bobcat rank. 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. These achievements are more difficult and challenging than those for the Wolf badge.
The achievements are primarily done at home and signed off by an adult family member after the boy has completed each one. The book is then shown to the Den Leader who records the progress and also signs the boy's book. When all requirements are satisfied, the Bear badge of rank has been earned and will be presented to the Cub Scout in an impressive advancement ceremony.
