The Bear Den

Bear Den Requirements

Third graders work toward the Bear rank. The Bear rank is earned by completing seven adventures as described below.

1) Complete each of the six required adventures:

  • Baloo the Builder
  • Bear Claws
  • Bear Necessities
  • Fellowship and Duty to God
  • Fur, Feathers, and Ferns
  • Paws for Action (Duty to Country)

2) In addition to the six required adventures, complete at least one elective adventure of your den’s or family’s choosing.

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

4) Watch the Protect Yourself Rules video for 3rd Grade, Bear. (The video is located at https://vimeo.com/325064786 and can be watched online or downloaded and viewed offline.) OR Earn the Protect Yourself Rules Preview Adventure for Bear.

Note: On the advancement trail, a Cub Scout progresses towards a badge of rank based on their grade. They need not have earned the previous rank in order to earn the next. Each of the ranks in Cub Scouting has its own requirements that are age appropriate, so earning a rank below a Cub Scout’s current grade is not permitted. As a Cub Scout advances through the ranks, the requirements get more challenging, to match the new skills and abilities they have learned.
