Bears also start working toward their Whittling Chip, which allows them to carry a small pocketknife (with your permission, of course) to use in a designated area at Scouting events, under direct adult supervision.
Some of the twelve available electives include Forensics, Super Science,and Grin and Bear It!

Patches You Don't Need to Buy
Any Rank Advancement Badge or Patch that your Scout earns will be awarded (at no cost) during the Monthly Pack Meetings. You will need to sew them on, but they are provided. Uniform shirts can be purchased with the Scout logo and Council patches pre-sewn.
