The Webelos are 4th & 5th
Grade Scouts.
The Webelos Scout Program prepares boys who have completed third
grade or are age 10 but have not yet completed fifth grade or
reached age 11 1/2 to bridge into a troop. Pronounced "WEE-buh-los",
the word "Webelos" means WE'll BE LOyal Scouts. After earning the
Bobcat badge, a boy may earn the Webelos Badge and Arrow of Light
Award. Shorter Webelos Scout Programs are available for Webelos who
start in fifth grade to earn their Arrow of Light in as little as
six months.
The Webelos Program is more challenging than Tiger, Wolf, and Bear
programs for younger Cub Scouts. Webelos Scouts take part in Cub
Scout pack meetings and activities as well as Webelos den meetings,
activities, and outdoor fun. Webelos Scouts can earn Webelos
Activity Badges and Belt Loops and Pins at any time.
