Webelos, meaning "WE'll BE LOyal Scouts," is for fourth graders who have earned the Bobcat badge. The program is more challenging and includes pack meetings, den activities, and outdoor fun. Webelos Scouts can earn Adventure Pins anytime, including for the Webelos and Arrow of Light ranks.
For Ages 9/10 or 4th Grade
Uniform costs are not included in membership and can be purchased in-person or online.
Your scout needs a rank-appropriate uniform and handbook they will use throughout the year. Rank-specific shopping lists (including optional items) can be found below. These items can be purchased in-person or online at a Scout Shop. There are three locations in the area:
In-person: Carolina Scout Shop (2121 Westinghouse Blvd, Charlotte, NC 28273)
Online: Scout Shop
The official handbook is a Scout’s guide to their year in Cub Scouting. It is where they can find everything they need to complete requirements and many other Family Scouting activities.
Information on the Cub Scout Uniform can be found on Scouting.org. How to place patches can be found in Ultimate Cub Scout Patch & Badge Placement Guide. Consult the Boy Scouts of America’s Guide to Awards and Insignia for more information (Cub Scout-specific Guide)
