The Bear rank is for Scouts entering 3rd grade as of June 1. To earn the Bear badge, a Scout must complete six required adventures and one elective adventure. The Scout’s parent or guardian and Den Leader approves each requirement by signing the Scout’s book, and the Scout receives an adventure loop for each adventure. When the Scout has met all requirements, they are presented the Bear badge during an impressive ceremony.

BEAR REQUIRED ADVENTURES

BEAR ELECTIVE ADVENTURES

The Scout can choose elective adventures and discover new hobbies or learn skills that will be useful during the Scouting adventure. When an elective adventure is completed, an additional adventure loop to be worn on the belt is awarded.

Belt Loops can be earned by any Cub Scout. Belt loops and pins are a great way to help fulfill the aims of Scouting—build character, develop citizenship, and encourage mental and physical fitness. Through a variety of subjects, you can stretch your mind and abilities by exploring the wonders of science, learning about the world, and expanding skills in new areas. This is a chance to try something new, do your best, and earn recognition all at the same time.
