Bear Resources (around town)
This page was established to help our Bear Dens find out what others have done to meet the requirements in the Scouting book for the Bear badge. This information is usually about places and events in the Wichita/Goddard, KS area. If you want to add information, or see a change that needs to be made, click on the Cubmaster icon to let us know.

Planning Documents
- A Parents Meeting is a good idea to get the den started on the right foot.
- There are two parent sign up sheets; one is to let each family take charge of a meeting. The boy then serves as the denner during that month. Then the other is for them to plan one of the field trips.
- The meeting schedule was more like a template where we tried to fit in something for each week.
- Need some den meeting ideas?
- Field Trips just identified the achievements that could be completed at each field trip.
- Family Achievement identified those achievements that could be accomplished by the family outside of the den meetings.
