Bear Cub Scouts
A Bear scout earns one red bead for every three achievements earned on the Bear Trail.  These beads are strung on the Progress Toward ranks patch.  (It's a diamond with a leather or plastic thong attached.  It's worn on the button of the right shirt pocket.)  Each time a scout completes 3 achievements, he will earn another red bead.  After he gets his fourth red bead, he will receive his Bear badge at a pack meeting.  Cub Scouts may continue to wear this emblem after ranks are earned until they become a Webelos Scout. 

As your boy completes the requirements for the achievements on the Bear trail, be sure to review his work and sign his book in the place for Akela's OK. At his next den meeting, he should show his book to his den leader who will record his progress and sign the book on the line provided.

Bear Achievements at a Glance
Bear Scouts need to complete 12 of these 24 achievements to earn their Bear Badge.  Details are found in the Bear Scout handbook. A boy may count any extra achievement requirements he earns as arrow point credits.

If a Bear-aged boy is new to Cub Scouting, he must complete the Bobcat trail before beginning work on the Bear achievements.
