If a Cub Scout has completed the second grade (or is 9 years old) and has earned the Bobcat Badge, he may start earning the Bear rank. He receives a Bear Scout handbook, Bear neckerchief, and Bear neckerchief slide when beginning the Bear track. He will also need a blue Cub Scout Uniform.

A handy form that provides a chart for tracking achievements is attached. The reverse side of the form will allow you to track achivements and electives for both Wolves and Bears. 

You can give your boys encouragement by using the Cub Scout Instant Recognition kits. On these kits, they are awarded a red bead for every three achievements completed.

After the Bear Badge is complete, they can begin to work on their arrow heads. The first ten electives will get him a gold arrow head. Every ten electives thereafter is awarded with a silver arrow head.

• The Cub Scout Den Meeting Program form lays out the order of a Cub Scout Den Meeting and explains what each section should be.
• The Cub Scout Den Record hold all of the pertinent information needed for the Cub Scouts. It tracks Bear Badge requirement completion. There is space for the names of each adult partner and their contact information. It will be the overall record of Cub Scout Advancement until they transition to a Webelos den.
• The Individual Cub Scout Record records contact information for parent and child, attendance, and dues collected.
