FOR WOLVES AND BEARS !
Electives are not like achievements. A Wolf or Bear Cub Scout can pick
any requirement he likes from the electives and do it. When he has completed
ten elective requirements, he has earned his first Arrow Point - a gold
one. Only one gold arrow point may be earned during the Wolf year, and
one during the Bear year. It is worn 3/4" below and centered under the
current rank badge (Wolf and Bear) as shown above.
After earning a Gold Arrow Point, a Cub may complete ten more
requirements to earn a Silver Arrow Point. Under his Wolf or Bear badge, he
may wear as many Silver Arrow Points as he earns. They are worn in rows of
two below, centered, and touching the Gold Arrow Point or previously earned
Silver Arrow Points for each rank (see above.)
FOR BEARS ONLY!
There are slight differences between the Wolf and Bear Arrow Points
rules. In the Bear program, achievement requirements now follow the same
rules as the elective requirements. Each one is a separate project. The
achievements sometimes require completion of an elective to satisfy a
particular requirement. As such, after completing all of his achievements a
Bear Cub can go back to his electives and use any requirement he did not
count toward his Bear badge. Remember these important rules:
- A Bear can mix requirements from electives and unused achievements in
any way to get the ten he needs for each Arrow Point.
- He may earn Arrow Points from the Bear Cub Scout Book until he becomes
a Webelos Scout.
- He may work on these electives all through his Bear year, but he
cannot receive Arrow Points until he has earned your Bear badge.
- Any achievement requirement that he has completed to earn his Bear
badge cannot be used again to earn Arrow Points, but there are many more
to choose from.
