Webelos WEBELOS — 4th/5th grade or age 10

Webelos (from “WE’ll BE LOyal Scouts,” pronounced WEE-buh-lows) is a transitional program that shifts the emphasis from the home-centered activities of Tiger Cub and Wolf and Bear Scouts to more group-centered activities. This stage prepares the Scout for participation in the great adventure of Boy Scouting by providing boys with a variety of new experiences to help them assume responsibilities and gain maturity, knowledge and skills. Advancement and recognition are based on earning the Webelos badge and activity badges. After the Webelos badge, the Scout can continue working toward the Arrow of Light Award, Cub Scouting’s highest award.

Note — Boys in Cub Scouting work on advancement with their families. No matter what age or grade a boy joins Cub Scouting, he must earn his Bobcat badge before he can advance to Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear or Webelos Scout. The “trail” to Bobcat has eight “tracks”, including learning the Cub Scout Promise, handshake, salute and motto.
