Webelos Rank
For Cub Scouts entering 4th Grade as of June 1.
Arrow of Light Award
For Cub Scouts entering 5th Grade as of June 1.
Webelos dens are for Scouts who have completed third grade (or reached age 10). Webelos Scouts get to work on the five required Webelos adventures and choose two of the 18 elective adventures that are shared by the Webelos and Arrow of Light ranks. Pronounced "WEE-buh-los", the word "Webelos" means WE'll BE LOyal Scouts.
When a Scout has done the requirements for an adventure, the Webelos Den Leader, rather than a parent, approves most of the adventures. For each adventure a Scout completes, a pin is awarded to be worn on the Webelos colors or hat. After completing seven adventures, including five required adventures and two elective adventures, a Scout can receive the Webelos badge. He or she will be presented the Webelos badge during an impressive ceremony.
The highest rank in Cub Scouting is the Arrow of Light. Earning this rank prepares a Webelos Scout to become a BSA Scout. Scouts must complete four required adventures and three elective adventures to earn the Arrow of Light rank. For each adventure a Scout completes, a pin is awarded to be worn on the Webelos colors hat.
The Arrow of Light badge is the only Cub Scout badge that can be worn on the BSA Scout uniform when a Scout graduates into a troop. Adult leaders who earned the Arrow of Light rank when they were young may also show their achievement by wearing a special square knot on their adult uniform.
