Webelos

Webelos dens are for boys and girls who have completed third grade (or reached age 10). Webelos Scouts get to work on the six required Webelos adventures and choose one of the 18 elective adventures that are shared by the Webelos and Arrow of Light ranks. 

When a Scout has done the requirements for an adventure, the Webelos den leader, rather than a parent, approves most of the adventures. For each adventure a Scout completes, he or she receives a pin to wear on the Webelos colors or on their hat. After completing seven adventures, including six required adventures and one elective adventure, a Scout can receive the Webelos badge.

After a Scout has earned the Webelos badge, a Webelos Scout can work on the remaining 18 shared Webelos and Arrow of Light electives until he or she finishes fourth grade (or turns 11 years old). They can choose elective adventures that may show them new hobbies and teach them skills that will be useful during their BSA Scout years. When they complete an elective adventure, he or she receives an additional adventure pin to wear on the Webelos colors or on their hat.
