So if you want to be the party tracker and have a wild cohort, sounds like you want a Swift Hunter build.
Swift Hunter archers go Scout 3 or 4/Ranger X. Two Weapon Fighter swift hunters go Barbarian 1/Scout 3 or 4/Ranger X.
You need Ranger 1/Scout 3 to be elligible for Skirmish. Scout 4 gives a bonus feat, and bonus feats are always nice, but it puts you a level behind on Ranger bonus feats.
So you want to be a Chaotic or Neutral Barbarian 1 for Pounce and Rage for Bear Warrior, but that doesn't work with Monks who have to be Lawful, hence the ex-monk stub. Ranger 1 is an odd pick here, you might have picked it for the skill points.
What I'd suggest: Barbarian 2/Fighter 2/Fist of the Forest 3/Bear Warrior 5. You get in to Fist earlier, Fighter gives you two bonus feats (or a bonus feat and the Resolute ACF to improve your Will Save), and you still have enough feats and full BAB at level 4 to get into Fist of the Forest at level 5.
Education + Knowledge Devotion.
Solid build. Take Travel Devotion as a feat to get free swift-action movement.
I have no idea what this is but Monk 1/Cleric X is a decent build. Maybe fit in a couple levels of Prestige Paladin with the Serenity feat to lose one casting level and a feat but ridiculously boost your saves. You don't need to multiclass further than that.
Hope this was what you were after. If there's something you'd like fleshed out further, feel free to let us know.
