Bear Scout Requirements
To earn the Bear Badge, a Cub Scout must complete 12 achievements out of a possible 24 that are offered in the handbook. The achievements are grouped in 4 major areas: god, country, family, and self.
Within each group, a required number of achievements must be completed. As each group is completed, the Bear Cub earns a bead for his totem, worn on the right pocket of the uniform. Any achievements that they do not use to earn the Bear Badge may be used to earn Arrow Points.
(Note that these achievements, like the Wolf activities, are usually done at home and signed off by a family member only after the boy has completed each one. Then, the book is shown to the Den Leader who records the progress and also signs the boy's book.)
