Webelos

This program is for boys who have completed the third grade (or are age 10).  This is the transition step from Cub Scouts to becoming a Boy Scout.  All the Webelos activities lead the scout the ultimate Cub Scout badge, the Arrow of Light.

This is a very basic and general description of what the boys will be doing while earning the Webelos rank.  The den leaders and the scout book for this rank will have all the detailed information on what your child will be doing.

The Webelos are broken into two parts.  Webelos 1 and Webelos 2.

The Webelos sole purpose is to prepare the boys to leave the Cub Scouts and enter the Boy Scouts.

The Webelos Den Leader will now sign off your activities (your parent or guardian does not sign off the activities as they did when you were a Wolf or Bear).
