Webelos


Boys entering 4th grade may register for Webelos. In Webelos they transform from a Den in to a Patrol. To earn the Webelos Badges, scouts must complete activities with the patrol and independently of direct parent involvement. Achievements are individualized to each boys’ personal interests, fostering greater understanding of fitness, nature, citizenship, faith, technology, science and the arts. These achievements promote career discernment, character development, and preparation for joining the Troop as a Boy Scout.
:
Our Goals: Webelos is a 20 month program for 4th and 5th grade boys to prepare to join a Boy Scout troop while learning outdoor skills and participating in 20 different activity badges. A Webelos works on requirements for the Webelos badge, earning multiple activity badges and ultimately the Arrow of Light Award as a Webelos II (the highest award in Cub Scouting). A well-run group of Webelos is a gradual change from being an 'adult-run' den to being a 'boy-run' patrol ready to fit right into an adventurous scouting troop.
Summary: The Webelos program has two major milestones - the Webelos rank badge to be earned at the 4th grade level and the Arrow of Light to be earned at the 5th grade. The final part of Webelos is bridging over into a Boy Scout troop selected individually by the scout.
