The Bear Program



  

Welcome to the Bear Den!

Den Number 

Third Grade

or 8-9 years old
Den Leader

Our Goals
A year-round 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.
What the Bear are Doing...
"Hi Bears and prospective Bears! I've just volunteered to lead this Bear Den. I want to invite you to come to our meetings each Tuesday at 7pm in the Swans Creek Cafeteria! When you have registered as a new Bear and have received and accepted your invitation to join Scoutlander, be sure to contact me using the Broadcast System. That way we can at least meet electronically and you can provide input and resources (for example, "my mom is a Physical Education teacher and she knows lots of fun games") that can become part of our program plan. Hope to see you soon!"

  Note:

Wolf and Bear uniforms are the same except for the hat, neckerchief, neckerchief slide, and socks.


Required:
  • Shirt (Long or Short Sleeve- your choice)*
  • Hat (shows yellow in picture; but should be blue)
  • Blue Bear Neckerchief
  • Bear Neckerchief Slide
  • Pants (recommend the convertible zip off pant legs for summer wear as well)
  • Blue belt with Cub Scout belt buckle
  • Yellow banded blue Cub Scout socks

*Size the shirt rather large as it should last until at least the third grade.


The Uniform Code:


Your son will be encouraged by leaders and should be encouraged by parents to wear his uniform appropriately. The shirt should always be tucked in and orderly. He should understand the importance of representing the entire Boy Scout Organization while in uniform.

 Sewing Time...

The image to the left will help with the placement of emblems and patches. See the attached patch and badge placement guide for more details. No time to sew? We recommend "Jenny's" in Quantico Town. She charges $1 to sew on most patches, $2 for large patches or patches sewn onto pockets.
