| Achievements for Bears are more numerous than for
Tigers or Wolves
| ☼See page 286-287 for summary – Only 12 of 24
necessary |
| I don’t want to be in a position forcing a race
toward finishing achievements in the last two months of the year. It
short-changes the boys experience. |
| ☼Achievements are based on Akela’s call whether
the scout “did his best”. (see page 3 of bear handbook) |
| I will ask you to work with your son on some
achievements before or after a den meeting. (e.g. folk tales,
collections) |
| Achievement parts not part of 12 selected for Bear
badge are arrow points! |
|
| Absences from den activities
| Some den activities are voluntary |
| ☼If a scout can’t make a den activity, it is
Akela’s responsibility to
 | Alert den leader or other leader to not expect
that scout. |
| find out what achievements were covered at the
time, and to do it as a family. |
|
| Den leader updates those achievements in
scouttrack for boys who were present. |
