Bear
The
Bear rank is for boys who have completed second grade (or are
9 years old). 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 to be worn under
the Bear badge.
Note: No matter what age or grade a boy joins Cub Scouting, he
must earn his Bobcat badge before he can advance to the rank of
Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear, or Webelos. See the TIGERS page for more
info.
