Cub Scout Bears Adventures & Requirements ~ Cub Scout Ideas

Cub Scouting is all about adventure! To earn their rank badge, Bear Cub Scouts complete seven "adventures," which are collections of themed, multidisciplinary activities. They also complete safety exercises.

Bear Cub Scouts are in the third grade.

Cub Scout Bear requirements include topics such as camping, pocketknife safety, woodworking, and wildlife.

Bear Rank Requirements

1. Complete each of the following Bear required adventures with your den or family:

a. Baloo the Builder
b. Bear Claws
c. Bear Necessities
d. Fellowship and Duty to God
e. Fur, Feathers, and Ferns
f. Paws for Action

2. Complete one Bear elective adventure of your den or family’s choosing.

3. With your parent or adult partner, complete the exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide, and earn the Cyber Chip award for your age.*

*If your family does not have Internet access at home AND you do not have ready Internet access at school or another public place or via a mobile device, the Cyber Chip portion of this requirement may be waived by your parent or adult partner.
