What is a Webelos Scout?
| The
Webelos rank is for boys who have completed third
grade (or are age 10). A boy may begin working on
the Webelos badge as soon as he joins a Webelos
den. This is the first step in his transition from
Webelos den to Boy Scout troop. As he completes
the requirements found in the Webelos Scout Book,
he will work on activity badges, attend meetings
led by adults, and become familiar with the Boy
Scout requirements--all leading to the Arrow of
Light Award. |
He passes most Webelos
badge requirements to his Webelos den leader and
activity badge counselors. When all requirements are
completed, the Webelos den leader turns in the Den
Advancement Report. The Webelos badge is obtained and
presented to his parent or guard- guardian at the next
pack meeting in an impressive advance- advancement
ceremony. The parent, in turn, presents the badge to
the boy.
Webelos Activity Badges
As he is earning the
Webelos badge and the Arrow of Light Award, a Webelos
Scout is required to earn eight of the 20 available
activity badges. Certain activity badges are required
for earning the Webelos badge and the Arrow of Light
Award, while others may be selected by the boy. The 20
activity badges are hobby and career fields ranging
from science to sports. Most badge requirements are
passed to the Webelos den leader or activity badge
counselors.
Any activity badge may be earned by any boy during any
month. But most Webelos den leaders have found that
it's best to have all den members working on the same
badge at the same time since more resources and
qualified help can be utilized in this way.
When activity badges are earned, the Webelos den
leader indicates those on the Den Advancement Report,
and the badges are presented to the parent or guardian
during an advancement ceremony at pack meetings. The
parent, in turn, presents them to the boy.
Compass Points
After
completing the Webelos badge, the Webelos Scout may
receive compass points for earning additional activity
badges. The Compass Points emblem is presented to the
boy who has earned four activity badges in addition to
those required for the Webelos badge (a total of
seven). A metal compass point is awarded for each
additional four activity badges earned.
Arrow
of Light Award
The next step on the
Webelos trail to becoming a Boy Scout is the Arrow of
Light Award, which is the highest award a boy can earn
as a Cub Scout. This is the only Cub Scout badge
authorized to be worn on the Boy Scout uniform when he
graduates into a troop.
After he has completed fourth grade and earned the
Webelos badge, he is ready to start on the Arrow of
Light Award requirements. These give him a chance to
practice some Scout skills which he has already
learned about, earn more activity badges, and really
find out what a Boy Scout is. He passes the
requirements to the Webelos den leader.
When all the Arrow of Light Award requirements are
completed, the Webelos den leader indicates this on
the Den Advancement Report and turns it in. The award
is obtained and presented to the boy and parent or
guardian at an impressive pack ceremony. This is a
special award, so the ceremony should be special.
