Welcome to the Bear Den!

If a Cub Scout has completed the second grade (or is 9 years old) the youth may start earning the Bear rank. The scout receives a Bear Scout handbook, Bear neckerchief, and Bear neckerchief slide when beginning the Bear portion of the boy scout trail. A blue Cub Scout Uniform will also be needed. This part of the boy scout trail is intended to take one school year, preparing the scout to begin earning the Webelos rank after completing third grade.

Bear Scouts do adventures described in their Bear handbook that advance them towards their Bear rank. By completing seven adventures, the Bear rank is earned.


To earn the Bear badge of rank, you must complete six required Adventures and any two elective Adventures.

Wearing the Uniform

In general, every Cub Scout should wear their uniform to all Cub Scouting activities, including den and pack meetings, unit outings, and any activities done with members of the den or pack. There are two types of uniforms for scouts. 

Class A Uniforms is the official cub scout uniforms, that is frequently worn in meetings and other Cub Scouting activities.  When playing sports, going to camp, or participating in other physical activities, we have an activity shirt. These are referred to as Class B Uniforms. Class B shirts for youth and adults can be purchased as a pack.

Pack leaders will provide advance notice of any occasion when the youth should wear anything other than the complete uniform.


Here are some tips for wearing the uniform:

Any time you are uncertain about uniform regulations, ask the den leader for guidance.
