The Webelos Scout Program prepares boys who have completed third grade or are age 10 but have not yet completed fifth grade or reached age 11 1/2 to bridge into a Boy Scout Troop.Pronounced "WEE-buh-los", the word "Webelos" means WE'll BE LOyal Scouts. After earning the Bobcat badge, a boy may earn the Webelos Badge and Arrow of Light Award. Both the Webelos Badge and Arrow of Light require the Webleos Scouts to earn Webelos Activity Badges. Activity Badges are patterned after the concept of merit badges in Boy Scouts. Webelos Scouts can earn Webelos Activity Badges and Belt Loops and Pins at any time.
The Webelos Program is more challenging than Tiger, Wolf, and Bear programs for younger Cub Scouts. Webelos Scouts take part in Cub Scout pack meetings and activities as well as Webelos den meetings, and organized interaction with Boy Scout Troops. |
