Sctmom, My son is homeschooled, so we were planning on using his Scout Book for several of our activities. It is amazing how much it has already increased his interest in do "school work". He finds something in his book that he wants to do, then I figure out how we can work it into his lessons. What kind of activities do you do with Bears at a meeting? We hae the next one figured out, but I am at a loss as what to do. I want something that will interest most of the boys (luckily we only have 8), but don't know where to start. Is there any book that is especially helpful? Katrina

I am sorry for not making myself clear. I am talking about Cub Scouts. In the Cusb Scout book, it asks for a signature at the end of each requirement and I was wondering if the parent could sign off on them. Not that it is a real big deal in our case as I am the assistant den leader (who wants to learn everything about Scouting that I can) also. But wanted to know so that I could help other parents along also. Katrina

I know that this is going to sound like a silly question, but I am going to ask it anyway. In the book, it asks for a signature, who is responsible for signing that the scout has done each part of a requirement? Thanks in advance, Katrina

I had found the updated requirements online which is what made me ask the question. He is playing soccoer right now and is also really into chess. I thought these would be a good place to start. I also wanted to know as my husband and I are the den leaders for our son's group and neither of us have a clue what is going on. It is easier for me to post a question here that I am unsure about than it is to try and get in touch with someone else who can help me. That is one of the things that I love about the internet: if you look long enough you will find a group of people that care Thanks for your input, Katrina

Thanks, I will have to look again. I didn't see them Wednesday when I was there. I won't be in Evansville again for about a month. I might call and ask if they have them. Thanks again, Katrina

Here is another question. How do Bear scouts go about earning the religious emblem for their faith? Thanks, Katrina

I am very new to scouting and have a million questions. Here is my first. My son, a Bear and first year scouting, has earned his Bobcat. I was wondering if he could also earn the academic belt loops before he has earned his Bear badge. There are a couple of the academic and sport sections that he is very involved in and thought it would encourage his enthusiasm if he could see immediate results. He has already started working on the Bear requirements, but I have been sick and we haven't had a lot of time just yet. I'll save my other questions for another post. Thanks, Katrina
