Bear can be less complex

I think we should look at the bear advancement program. Currently, a boy picks 12 out of 24 achievements. You have to get three from this group, and four from that group... The leftovers can be picked at for elective credits, and coupled with the real electives, it can be confusing. Can we just select 12 achievements and leave it at that, just like the wolf program has?

The program currently called Fast Tracks on the Advancement Trail does just that. Den meeting plans for the Bear year are available at scouting.org.

This is one of the beginnings of the transition from Cubs to Boys Scouts. The entire Cub program is progress boys to the Boys Scouting program. In Boy Scouting the boys have MANY choices. Even in Webelos the boys have choices. This is to prepare the boys for what they will face later.
