The Bear rank is for Scouts who have finished second grade (or who are 9 years old). To earn the Bear badge, a Scout must first complete; the Bobcat Badge, six required adventures and one elective adventure. Their parent or guardian and den leader approves each requirement by signing their book, and the Scout receives an adventure loop for each adventure. When the Scout has met all requirements, they will be presented their Bear badge at a pack meeting.
After they have earned the Bear badge, a Bear Scout can work on the remaining 12 Bear electives until they finish third grade (or turn 10 years old). They can choose elective adventures that may show them new hobbies and teach skills that will be useful during their Scout years. When they completes an elective adventure, they receive an additional adventure loop to wear on their belt.
