Bear Adventure: Bear Necessities While working on your Bear badge, camp overnight with your pack.

Attend a campfire show, and participate by performing a song or skit with your den. Make a list of items you should take along on your campout. Make a list of equipment that the group should bring along in addition to each Scout's personal gear. With your den, plan a cooked lunch or dinner that is nutritious and balanced. Make a shopping list, and help shop for the food. On a campout or at another outdoor event, help cook the meal and help clean up afterward. Help your leader or another adult cook a different meal from the one you helped prepare for requirement 5. Cook this meal outdoors. Help set up a tent. Pick a good spot for the tent, and explain to your den leader why you picked it. Demonstrate how to tie two half hitches and explain what the hitch is used for. Learn how to read a thermometer and a barometer. Keep track of the temperature and barometric pressure readings and the actual weather at the same time every day for seven days.
