Webelos Rank
The Webelos rank is for scouts who are in fourth grade or age ten. To earn the rank of Webelos, your scout will follow the adventures in the Webelos Handbook. Below is an outline of the material covered in the handbook.
To begin the path to the Webelos Rank, a scout must first complete the Bobcat Rank. The Bobcat Rank is outlined at the beginning of every handbook in Cub Scouts. Once completed and reported to your Den Leader, the Bobcat Badge will be awarded at the next Monthly Pack Meeting.
Note: Some activities are done at home and signed off by the parent after the boy has completed the task. You can signoff the activity in the handbook or in Scoutbook, which should be shown to the Den Leader who then approves the progress in Scoutbook to track your scout's progress. You must report your scouts progress in a timely manner.
Note: There are no performance requirements for completing tasks. Simply participating and doing one's best in an activity constitutes completion.
Note to Parents
Your Den Leader will track Adventure activity by each Scout.
Some activities are done at home and signed off by the parent "Akela" after the boy has completed the task.
Use your handbook to learn about each of the Adventure activities and update Scoutbook to track the activities your scout completes.
Start a Scout Folder to store papers and projects as your scout completes them.
Bring the Handbook (and folder) to each Den meeting to have your activities recorded by the Den Leader.
Our Pack uses the Scoutbook website to track the progress of your scout. The Den Leaders have access to Scoutbook so make sure your child gets credit for completing activities. We also use Scoutbook to purchase appropriate badges and awards. Make sure your scout is getting proper credit (by working with your Den Leader) and the recognition will come at Pack Meetings. Scoutbook will track your child's progress for as long as they are in the Pack.
Note: Once a Bobcat, always a Bobcat... Once your scout earns the Bobcat Badge it can be skipped in other handbooks as they advance through the ranks.
To earn the Webelos Rank the Webelos scout must complete 5 Required Adventures, 1 Elective Adventure, exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse: A Parent's Guide, and earn the Cyber Chip award for their age.
