Bear Den - 3rd Grade
LEADERSHIP
DEN LEADER – Janet Serrano | jsilvaserrano1@gmail.com
ASST. DEN LEADER – TBD | email
The Bear works toward earning his Bobcat rank (if not earned the previous year) and then his Bear Rank badge with his den or family. Each Bear must complete six core Bear adventures and one of the thirteen Bear elective adventures to receive his Bear Rank badge. After completing an adventure each Cub Scout will receive an immediate recognition award in the form of an adventure loop that he can wear on his belt. Adventure loops are color coded and specific to each Scouting year. Wolf year adventure loops have red edges.
After he has earned the Bear badge, a Bear Scout can work on the remaining Bear electives until he finishes third grade (or turn 10 years old). He can choose elective adventures that may show him new hobbies and teach him skills that will be useful during his Boy Scout years. When he completes an elective adventure, he receives an additional adventure loop to wear on his belt.
Meetings Our den meetings are held at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church @ 6:30 pm on Monday. Look at the Pack Calendar on the web site.
Our Goals A family, home, and community-centered program that encourages ethical decision-making skills.
Summary The boys will learn more about staying healthy, knowing their home and community, tools for fixing and building, cooking healthy, being safe, making good choices, and much more.

The Cyber Chip requirement (4) may be replaced with earning the Protect Yourself Rules Adventure.
