LDS Faith in God and New Bear Program

In a Previous Post- I noted how well the Wolf  adventures went right along with the LDS Faith in God Program.  As promised, here is the Bear version.   And there are even more! Remember- for the Faith in God Program, the boys only need to complete 2 activities in each of the 3 sections.  This is SO easily accomplished through the adventures!
