Bear Scouts are 3rd graders who meet on Monday evenings. They wear blue neckerchiefs and learn about conservation, heroes, and safety. They meet twice a month as a den, go on adventures, and attend pack meetings. Parents take turns assisting with activities. The Den Leader(s) coordinates the calendar, communicates with the parents, keeps track of what the scouts have earned, and encourages the boys to “Do Their Best.”
To earn their Bear badge, each scout must complete the six required adventures plus one elective adventure. The scout receives a belt loop for each of the 19 adventures he completes.
