Which of this applies to you?

Answering these takes the parts that are not for you out of Bear Rank. Nothing is required, nothing is kept on the server, and nothing is ever hidden because a question went unanswered. A step that might apply to you stays on the list and is marked.

Which electives is your Bear doing?

Pick at least two. Only the ones you pick stay on the plan; until you answer, all seventeen are shown and marked as possibly not applying. If you pick Chef Tech, pick Whittling too.

Fellowship: requirements, or a religious emblem?

The Adventure page allows either. The religious emblems are run by the faith groups themselves; ask your place of worship or see scouting.org/awards/religious-awards.
