Cub Scouts earn adventures that are specific to their grade and rank. A number of adventures must be completed to earn the badge of rank for each grade level. Completion of adventures is how the aims of character, citizenship, leadership, and personal fitness are developed. Scouts in third grade work toward the Bear rank.
Den Leaders
Adam Macallister, Christina Pollack and Jennifer and Andrew Walden
Your Scout is a Member of the Bear Den
The rank of Bear is the fourth rank a Cub can earn, and it’s typically achieved in the third grade.
The Bear den is made up boys and girls who are in third grade with a parent or guardian encouraged to accompany their Bear to all meetings.
Together parents and scouts will work to complete the required adventures. The goal is to complete these adventures before our Blue and Gold Banquet in February. We will then work on the electives throughout the spring.
Parents must also complete the exercises in the pamphlet “How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse”.

We use WhatsApp for all Bear communications to limit the pings on your phone. Please install WhatsApp to be kept up to date with the Pack and Den news.
The Scouting app allows you to track your Scout’s progress toward rank and you can even check off other electives and awards yourself that you might complete as a family. On the Scouting app, you can also add volunteer hours, camping nights, and hikes as well. Please install the Scouting app on your phone.
Once your Scout has earned a new adventure or award, we always try to get those pins and patches handed out as quickly as possible so they see the results of their hard work!
For information on how to join Cub Scouts as well as other helpful information, please see the "New Scout" and other menu options at the top right of the page.
We are looking forward to a great year, Bears!
