Webelos is an acronym for We’ll Be Loyal Scouts. Webelos Scouting is designed for fourth and fifth grade boys.
Geared to older boys, Webelos activities include using computers, learning citizens’ role in the nation, studying animals and insects, swimming, and properly caring for the flag.
Boys begin working on the Webelos Badge as soon as their den moves onto Webelos. This is the first step in the transition to a Boy Scout Troop. As they complete the requirements found in the Webelos Scout book, they pursue activity badges for achievements in academic skills, the outdoors, technology, sports, and community involvement. They attend den meetings led by a Webelos den leader and co-leader(s), and become familiar with the Boy Scout requirements, all leading to the Arrow of Light award, the highest award in Cub Scouting.
