Welcome, Bear Families!
Bear is a year of building skills, confidence, and independence!
Bear Scouts take on new challenges as they stay active, practice important safety skills, explore their families and communities, and learn to make responsible choices.
Through Pack meetings, family activities, and adventures at home, Bears have opportunities to become more independent while continuing to learn what it means to live by the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
The goal isn't to finish everything as quickly as possible. It's to have fun, try new things, and Do Your Best!
This page contains Pack 66 resources that can help your Bear complete select adventures and requirements at home.
You don't need to complete every resource you see here. Use these materials when directed by a Pack 66 leader, when an adventure is assigned for at-home completion, or when your Scout needs to make up an applicable activity.
Not sure what your Bear still needs? Just ask a Pack 66 leader—we'll help you figure it out.
Resources to help your Bear continue learning, growing, and completing select adventures and requirements.
