The den meetings will cover most, but not all, of the Bear badge requirements. Here are a list of activities to do at home as
they will not be covered as a group:
Bobcat Badge
If this is your first year scouting, start by completing the Bobcat requirements. (See Bear handbook.)
Cyber Chip
Complete all of the following.
1) Read, commit to, and sign the Level I Internet Safety Pledge. (BSA Cyber Chip blue card)
4) Show and tell your family what you have learned.
Note: All Cyber Chips will expire annually. Each Scout will need to “recharge” the chip by going back to the Netsmartz Recharge area. This space will hold new information, news, and a place for the Scout to recommit to net safety and netiquette. Then, with the unit leader, the Scout can add the new date to the Cyber Chip card or certificate.
How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide
With your parent, guardian, or other caring adult, complete the exercises in the pamphlet. (See Bear handbook.)
Fellowship and Duty to God
We will not be covering any of this belt loop as a group. Complete the following requirements:
1. Discuss with your parent/guardian what it means to do your duty to God. Tell how you do your duty to God in everyday life.
2. Complete at least 1 of the following:
(2a) Identify a person whose faith you admire and discuss with your family.
(2b) With a family member, provide service to a place of worship or spiritual community, school, or community organization that puts into practice your ideals of duty to God and strengthens your fellowship with others.

(3a) Earn the religious emblem of your faith that is appropriate for your age, if you have not done so already.
(3b) Make a list of things you can do to practice your duty to God as you are taught in your home or place of worship or spiritual community. Select 2 of the items and practice for 2 weeks.
