Webelos (4th Grade)

Ready to lead, ready to learn.
Webelos Scouts (pronounced “WEE-buh-lohs”) begin preparing for the transition into Scouts BSA. To earn the Webelos badge, Scouts complete 6 required adventures and 2 electives. They take on more advanced outdoor skills, develop leadership abilities, and start living more deeply by the Scout Oath and Law.

Webelos Scouts focus on:

• First responder and emergency skills

• Outdoor skills like camping, hiking, and knot-tying

• Personal fitness and goal setting

• Learning about Scout troops and patrols

Example adventures include:

• First Responder (basic first aid)

• Stronger, Faster, Higher (personal fitness)

• Webelos Walkabout (hiking & leadership)

🏹 Arrow of Light (5th Grade)

Preparing for the next adventure.
Arrow of Light is the highest rank in Cub Scouting—and it’s a big milestone! To earn the Arrow of Light badge, Scouts complete 6 required adventures and 2 electives, some of which carry over from the Webelos year if the Scout started early.

This year is focused on independence, leadership, and preparing to join a Scouts BSA troop. Even if a child hasn’t been in Cub Scouts before, they can still join and earn the Arrow of Light badge.

Arrow of Light Scouts will learn:

• Leadership and team-building

• Outdoor survival basics

• Citizenship and service

• How Scouts BSA troops work and how to join one

Example adventures include:

• Building a Better World (citizenship & community)

• Outdoor Adventurer (camping skills)

• Scouting Adventure (intro to Scouts BSA)
