Bear Rank Requirements:

1. Complete each of the six Bear required adventures:
   

   Bear Claws	Bear Necessities	Fellowship and Duty of God
   Paws for Action	Baloo the Builder	Fur, Feathers, and Ferns

2. In addition to the six required adventures listed above, complete at least one Bear elective adventure of your den’s or family’s choosing from this list: A Bear Goes Fishing, Bear Picnic Basket, Beat of the Drum, Critter Care, Forensics, Grin and Bear It, Make it Move, Marble Madness, Roaring Laughter, Robotics, Salmon Run, Super Science, World of Sound.
3. With your parent, guardian, or other caring adult, complete the exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide
4. Earn the Cyber Chip award for your age. (The Cyber Chip portion of this requirement may be waived by your parent or guardian if you do not have access to the internet.)

Remember: Cub Scout motto of Do Your Best is central to the program. There is no level of competence or skill required to complete adventures. Putting in personal effort and having fun with fellow scouts is success.
