The Bear Cub rank focuses on awareness in the world and personal interest. The adventures in the Bear rank are designed to encourage Bears with exploration and creativity.

In order to make rank, a Bear Cub must complete the 5 required adventures and at least 2 of the elective adventures. The required adventures are summarized below but can be found in much further detail in your Scout's handbook:

• Bear Habitat - In this adventure, Bears will learn how to plan a den one-mile walk and learning about Leave No Trace.
  
  

• Bear Strong - In this adventure, Bears learn about personal fitness, keeping the body and mind strong, and solving problems.
  
  

• Fellowship - In this adventure, Bears are encouraged to learn more about their family's traditions.
  
  

• Paws for Action - In this adventure, Bears will learn about America and the powerful symbols that represent the best of our country and how communities can come together to solve problems.
  
  

• Standing Tall  - In this adventure, the Protect Yourself Rules will give Bears guidance on keeping themselves safe. Bears will also identify ways to use electronics responsibly and ways to protect their body when they're playing or working. 

Beyond these required adventures, there are various elective adventures from the handbook that we include in our Scouting program that include activities like forensics, whittling, caring for pets and more while teaching the Bears the values in the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

For the 2024/2025 Scouting year, annual pack dues for the Bear rank total $50. Please see the Pack Treasurer, Nick Mead, to make full or partial payment.

After completing the Bear program, the Scouts will transition to Webelos Cubs, where they will continue their Scouting experience!
