The Bear Cub Scout program is for boys who have completed second grade (or are age 9). After earning the Bobcat badge, a boy may earn the Bear badge by completing 12 achievements in four different categories:
After he has earned the Bear badge (normally in February), a boy is encouraged to work on any of 100 Bear Electives projects. When he completes 10 elective projects, he earns a Gold Arrow Point to wear under the Bear Badge. For each additional 10 elective projects completed, he earns a Silver Arrow Point.
Bear Cub Scouts can complete Belt Loops and Pins at any time.
The Den meets as a Den every month and again with the Pack on the third Thursday of every month. They also have a Den trip, or go-see it, which are normally planned on Saturdays. The Bear Cub Scout class "A" uniform consists of the official hat, neckerchief and slide, belt and belt bucket and blue shirt. The official blue pants and socks are optional. The Bear Cub Scout class "B" uniform consists of a cub scout t-shirt (available through the Pack) and the official hat.
