Pronounced “WEE-buh–los“, the word “Webelos” means WE’ll BE LOyal Scouts. After earning the Bobcat badge, a Scout in the fourth grade may earn the Webelos Badge.
The Webelos Program is more challenging than Lion, 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 & Arrow of Light Adventure Pins at any time.
For Ages 9/10 or 4th Grade
