Once a Scout earns the Bear Cub rank, he can still have lots of fun with his Bear Book! Bears have electives, similar to those found in the Wolf rank.
Electives are not like achievements. A boy can pick any requirement he likes from the electives and do it. When he has completed 10 elective requirements
he has earned his first arrow point, a gold one. After earning a Gold Arrow Point, he may complete 10 more requirements to earn a Silver Arrow Point. A Bear
Cub Scout may wear as many Silver Arrow Points as he can earn under your Bear badge.
When working on the achievements to earn his Bear badge, the Scout may have seen some requirements he wanted to try but didn't. Now he can review the
Achievements section of your Bear Book and use any requirement he did not count toward his Bear badge. These achievement requirements now follow the
same rules as the elective requirements. Each one is a separate project. You can mix requirements from electives and unused achievements in any manner
to get the ten you need for each arrow point.
A Bear Cub Scout may earn arrow points from the Big Bear Cub Scout Book until he becomes a Webelos Scout.
Remember this important rule: If a boy completed an achievement requirement to earn his Bear badge, he cannot use it again to earn arrow points.
