The Bear Trail

The Bear trail has twenty-four Achievements, twelve of which must be completed to earn the Bear badge.  The Achievements and the Requirements for each are listed in the Bear Cub Scout Book beginning on page 22.

We will complete some of the Requirements together as a den, but the remainder will be the responsibility of each boy and his family. All boys are encouraged to "do their best" in each category. Extra Achievements Requirements will be counted towards the Arrow Point Trail, beginning on page 158 of the Bear Cub Scout handbook.
