Welcome to the Webelos II Den

Our Goals

Webelos is program for 4th and 5th grade boys to prepare to join a Scout BSA troop while learning outdoor skills and participating in different activity badges. A well-run group of Webelos is a gradual change from being an 'adult-run' den to being a 'scout-run' patrol ready to fit right into an adventurous scouting troop.

Earning the Arrow of Light

A boy or girl who is in the fourth or fifth grade is a Webelos Scout, and their adventures are found in the Webelos Handbook.

Once a boy or girl has completed his Webelos rank requirements or a new boy or girl joins Cub Scouting in the fifth grade, they may work on Arrow of Light requirements. Like all other new Cub Scouts, a Arrow of Life Scout must first earn his Bobcat rank.  After completing the requirements for Bobcat, they may go on to complete the requirements for the Arrow of Light rank and the many electives that are offered for his rank.

 

All Cub Scouts, except for those boys who join Cub Scouting for the first time in fifth grade, must earn their Webelos rank prior to earning Arrow of Light. The requirements for Webelos and Arrow of Light may be worked on at the same time but the tenure requirements for each must be met and the awards must be earned and presented sequentially.

Arrow of Light Requirements

Be active in your Webelos den for at least six months since completing the fourth grade or for at least six months since becoming 10 years old. (Being active means having good attendance, paying your den dues, and working on den projects.)
