WEBELOS: 4th & 5th Graders / Ten & Eleven-Year-Olds![]() Cub Scout Motto: Do Your Best.
Advancement Recognition is important to young boys. The Cub Scouting advancement plan provides fun for the boys, gives them a sense of personal achievement as they earn badges, and strengthens family understanding as adult family members work with boys on advancement projects. A boy may begin working on the Webelos badge as soon as he joins a Webelos den. This is the first step in his transition from the Webelos den to the Boy Scout troop. As he completes the requirements found in the Webelos Handbook, he will work on activity badges, attend meetings led by adults, and become familiar with the Boy Scout requirements—all leading to the Arrow of Light Award. Meetings Webelos dens meet two times per month. Meetings consist of a gathering activity, an activity to keep the boys engaged while everyone arrives, the opening which usually consists of the recitation of the cub scout motto and the Pledge of Allegiance, a sharing activity, based on "cub work" done at home and a den activity based on advancement or elective requirements. Webelos also attend the monthly pack meeting. The pack meetings, attended by all Tiger Cub, Bear Cubs, Wolf Cubs and Webelo dens, are where advancement badges and other achievements are recognized. The pack meetings also consist of a fun activity for all. All activities are family friendly and siblings are welcome to attend, though some activities may be limited to the scouts. Becoming a Webelos Boys may become a scout at any time. Click here to find out more. |
