As a Bear, your Den Leaders either Dave Whitney and Kent Welch or Helen Hardy and Steve Puopolo. Bear Scouts are boys, aged 8-9, and usually in 3rd grade. There are 24 Bear achievements in four categories. You must complete 12 of these to earn the Bear badge. These requirements are somewhat more difficult and challenging than those for Wolf rank. If you are brand new to Scouting, your first goal will be to achieve your Bobcat rank which we’ll go over at our first meeting.
Uniform: Boys need to purchase a uniform as follows:
- Blue scout shirt (buy slightly large so he can reuse it for a few years)
- Belt
- Patches:
- The numbers 106
- World crest patch
- DEN 1 patch
- Mohegan Council shoulder patch
- Bear hat (optional)
The den will provide each boy with the Bear Handbook, neckerchief and slide at registration or the first Pack meeting. Any patches, medals or awards earned during the year will also be provided by the pack.
