Third graders work toward the Bear rank.

​

Please note: Any new Scouts will need to earn their Bobcat Badge before working towards their rank badge.

 

The Bear rank is earned by:

• Completing the six required core adventures.

• Complete at least one elective adventure.

• With your parent or guardian, complete the exercises in the pamphlet entitled How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide. 

• Watch the Protect Yourself Rules video for 3rd Grade, Bear.

​

Outside of the required adventures, Bear Scouts will also work to complete elective adventures.

​

Some of the things Bear Scouts will learn about this year are:

  - tools and tool safety

  - pocketknife use and safety

  - planning campouts

  - hiking and wildlife

  - the American flag, the Pledge of Allegiance and US history

  - community leaders

  - what to do in an emergency

​

More information about the Bear rank, requirements, and adventures can be found in the Bear handbook. Please reach out to your Den Leaders with any questions.
