Treasures of Scouting
Celebrating Scouting Programs
The true treasures of Scouting are the values that it teaches our youth, helping them grow with character and integrity. Through Treasures of Scouting, we highlight Scouting values while getting Scouts and non-Scouts excited about our programs.
For 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America has helped youth become more than they ever thought possible. And we will continue that journey into the next century.
Cache to Cub Scouts: Bear In the Third Grade, Cub Scouts work toward the Bear Badge, then they, too, work toward earning a Gold Arrow Point and Silver Arrow Points. The requirements for these badges are found in the Bear Cub Scout Book. To earn the Bear Badge, a Cub Scout must complete 12 achievements out of a possible 24 that are offered in the book. The achievements are grouped in 4 major areas, GOD, COUNTRY, FAMILY, and SELF. Within each group, a required number of achievements must be completed, as indicated below. Also, any achievements that they do NOT use to earn the Bear Badge may be used to earn Arrow Points.
The cub scout program in the US began in 1930 and currently is open to boys in 1st through 5th grade. The cub scouts offers fun and challenging experiences that inspire confidence and teach important values. Cub Scout Geocaching is an important addition to the Scouting program.
