3rd Grade Bear

The scout may start earning the Bear rank in the third grade. The scout will need a Bear Scout handbook and also need a blue Cub Scout Shirt which can be purchased at the Scout Shop or carried over from previous years. This part of the scout trail is intended to take one school year, preparing the scout to begin earning the Webelos rank after completing third grade.
