Webelos DEN
(4th Grade)

Overview:

Webelos (WE'll BE LOyal Scouts) dens are for youth who have completed third grade OR are ten years old. Webelos Scouts work on five required Webelos Adventures and choose 1 elective adventures that are shared by the Webelos (and Arrow of Light ranks). For each adventure a youth completes, they receive a pin to wear on the Webelos colors or on their hat. After completing the six adventures (five required + 1 elective), the scout has earned their Webelos badge.

After earning the Webelos badge, a Webelos Scout can work on the remaining 18 shared Webelos and Arrow of Light electives UNTIL they finish fourth grade OR turn 11 years old.
