WEBELOS = WE‘ll BE LOyal Scouts

Beginning in 4th grade the Cub Scout works on requirements for the Webelos badge, up to 20 Adventures, and the Arrow of Light Award (the highest award in Cub Scouting) that prepares a Scout for Scouts BSA.  A pin is earned for each activity badge completed. The Webelos Badge is earned after completing the required Webelos Adventures, at least one Elective Adventure, Cyberchip, and How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide.

The Duty to God Required Adventure, Cyberchip, and the How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide are done at home with parents. Attendance at Den meetings will complete the required adventures and at least one elective.

For Webelos Leaders:

At the first Den meeting, it is recommended that the Den make a chart showing all the different ways team members can help the den. Ask parents/scouts to volunteer to be responsible for a meeting (i.e. the scout can lead pledge/oath/law, they can work with their parents and the den leader to help plan an activity, the parent can bring a snack, etc).

You should plan to do the “Stronger, Faster, Higher” adventure early in the year as it requires a scout to make an exercise plan for 30 days, follow it, and see if they show improvement. Don’t save this adventure for the last meeting.

A meeting in January/early February should include an activity to create a centerpiece for the Annual Blue & Gold ceremony (typically held in late February). The Den with the “best” centerpiece gets a pizza party from the Pack.
