Hi,

     God has given each one of our scouts unique gifts and talents.
  The Bear Trail - book gives each Scout achievement choices to match their
  gifts and interest.

  Unlike the Wolf Book, you have many more choices.
  That is choices to the choices. The Book is laid out in Four Themes: God,
  Country, Family and Self.  In each Theme are multiple topics. Depending
  on the Theme, you will pick so many topics you must do.  In each topic you
  pick which achievements you want, some may be required. Most of the Book will be done in Den meetings.

  To complete the Bear Trail Book:  [Four Themes (see page 262 in the Bear book)]

  God:        Complete  1 out of 2   do at home
  Country: Complete 3 out of 5   2 1/2 done at den meetings
  Family:    Complete 4 out of 6   one or two done at den meetings
  Self:         Complete 4 out of 11  Done at den meetings
____

So, working on the some of the Family and Country Themes at home would be a great start to the Bear
  Trail.

  Once the above Bear trail is completed the Whole Bear book (electives and un
  used achievements ) becomes an arrow point electives book. So feel free to
  do achievements that you may not use for the Bear trail (other topics in the
  Self or Family themes...) thru the scout year.
