The Bear Trail

Boys who are in the third grade or who are 9 years old join a Bear Cub Scout den.
Those who join the Bear den without having been a Wolf Cub Scout must earn the Bobcat badge.
Then all the Cub Scouts in the den work their way along the trail to earn their Bear badge.

For these older Cub Scouts, the activities for advancement and achievement are more challenging.
The Bear Handbook has 24 Bear achievements, 12 of which a boy must complete to earn his Bear badge.
The book also gives instructions for 25 electives, which a Bear Cub Scout may work on to earn Arrow Points.

One of the Requirements is 19d pg. 150 The Whittling Chip:

All the cub scouts look forward to this requirement. To earn the Whittling Chip you will need to read,
understand and promise to abide by the Knives are Not Toys guidelines and the Pocketnife Pledge.

Knives Are Not Toys
  • Close the blade with the palm of your hand.
  • Never use a knife on something that will dull or break it.
  • Be careful that you do not cut yourself or any person nearby.
  • Never use a knife to strip the bark from a tree.
  • Do not carve your initials into anything that does not belong to you.


Pocketknife Pledge

In return for the privelege of carrying a pocketknife to designated Cub Scout functions,
I agree to the following:
  1. I will treat my pocketknife with the respect due a useful tool.
  2. I will always close my pocketknife and put it away when not in use.
  3. I will not use my pocketknife when it might injure someone near me.
  4. I promise never to throw my pocketknife for any reason.
  5. I will use my pocketknife in a safe manner at all times.

DO YOUR BEST!
