The Bear rank is for Scouts who are in the 3rd grade. To earn the Wolf badge, a Scout must complete six required adventures and one elective adventure. The Scout’s parent or guardian and den leader approve each requirement by signing the Scout’s book, and the Scout receives an adventure loop for each adventure. Once all requirements are met, a Bear Scout can work on the remaining 13 Bear electives until finished with the 3rd grade. The Scout can choose elective adventures and discover new hobbies or learn skills that will be useful during the Scouting adventure. When an elective adventure is completed, an additional adventure loop to be worn on the belt is awarded.
