Arrow of Light DEN
(5th Grade)

Overview:

The Arrow of Light dens are for youth who have completed 4th grade OR have been ten years old, for at least 6 months. Arrow Light Scouts work on 4 required Adventures (and one elective). For each adventure a youth completes, they receive a pin to wear on their Webelos colors or on their hat. After completing the five adventures (4 required + 1 elective), the scout has earned their Arrow of Light rank and badge.  For the oldest Cub Scouts, the Arrow of Light program offers 5th grade Webelos the opportunity to earn a patch that transfers to their Scouts BSA uniform. By earning this recognition, a scout demonstrates readiness for the next step on the boy scout trail.

After earning the Arrow of Light rank, the scout will leave our Cubscout pack, and join their local Boyscout Troop!
