Stan Berenstain
Stan and Jan Berenstain introduced the first Berenstain Bears books in 1962. Mike Berenstain grew up watching his parents work together to write about and draw these lovable bears. Eventually he started drawing and writing about them too. Though Stan died in 2005 and Jan in 2012, Mike continues to create the delightful Bear adventures from his studio in Pennsylvania, in an area that looks much like the sunny dirt road deep in Bear Country.

The Beginning of a Strange Adventure
If someone were to tell you that the Bear Scouts would have an adventure that included desperate danger from crashing objects the size of cannonballs, the Beartown June Fete, atomic energy, and a magic crystal ball, you might say, Hey, wait a minute.
Well, the answer to that is, "Hey, you wait a minute." Because that’s just what happened. If you want to know the who, what, when, and why of how it happened, just keep reading.
It all started on a Saturday morning in June.
What do you suppose she wants to see us about?
said Sister.
Dunno,
said Brother.
No idea,
said Fred.
Lizzy didn’t answer. She was too busy talking to a tiny cabbage butterfly that had lit on her finger. That’s the way it was with Lizzy. She often talked to butterflies and other like creatures. What’s more, they seemed to listen.
The troop was on Scout Leader Jane’s doorstep, waiting for her to answer the bell.
Maybe you’d better ring again,
suggested Fred.
Brother was about to, when the door flew open and there stood Jane. She looked like someone who had wonderful news and could hardly wait to tell it. Good morning, scouts. This way, please.
The scouts followed Jane into the kitchen, where the table was set with five places. There was a glass of milk at each place and a big plate of raisin sugar cookies at the center. Raisin sugar cookies were Jane’s specialty.
Looks like a celebration,
said Brother.
Exactly,
said Jane. Sit, please.
What are we celebrating?
asked Sister.
The scouts took their places, and the cookies were passed around. That first bite into one of Jane’s raisin sugar cookies was something special. They were crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, covered all over with fat raisins, and still warm from the oven. The second, third, and fourth bites weren’t bad, either.
Have you ever heard of the Supertroop Merit Badge Award?
asked Jane.
I think so,
said Brother. But I’m not sure what it is.
Well,
said Jane. It’s just the biggest, most important honor a Bear Scout troop can receive. And guess what? I’ve put you up for it.
Put us up for it?
said Fred. The scouts looked puzzled.
Jane picked up a folder that was beside her plate. It was filled with papers. The Supertroop Merit Badge,
she said, "isn’t like the regular merit badges you’ve earned: the rock-climbing badge, the environmental badge, and others. It’s a special badge awarded to . . . but let me read what it says in the Official Bear Scout Handbook."
Jane got up and left the kitchen. The scouts were still looking puzzled when she returned. She opened the handbook and started to read.
"‘The Supertroop Merit Badge Award is the highest honor in the annals of scoutdom. It is awarded to one Bear Scout troop each year by the Bear Scout High Council for achieving the following:
1. Living up to the highest standard of the Bear Scout Oath.
2. Earning five or more Bear Scout merit
