A Scout who is 10 years old or is in the fourth grade is a Webelos Scout, and the adventures are found in the Webelos Handbook.

Like all other new Cub Scouts, a Webelos must first earn the Bobcat rank. After completing the requirements for Bobcat he or she may go on to complete the requirements for the Webelos rank and the many electives that are offered for this rank.

The Webelos rank is earned by completing the requirements as described below.

Be an active member of your Webelos den for three months. (Being active means having good attendance, paying your den dues, and working on den projects.)

Complete each of the following Webelos required adventures with your den or family:

1. Cast Iron Chef

2. Duty to God and You

3. First Responder

4. Stronger, Faster, Higher

5. Webelos Walkabout

Complete two Webelos elective adventures of your den or family’s choosing.

With your parent or guardian, complete the exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent's Guide, and earn the Cyber Chip award for your age.*

* If your family does not have Internet access at home AND you do not have ready Internet access at school or another public place or via a mobile device, the Cyber Chip portion of this requirement may be waived by your parent or guardian.

Requirement 7 of Bobcat and requirement 4 of Webelos and Arrow of Light are identical. If a Cub Scout earns the Bobcat rank during the same year that he or she begins working on the Webelos or Arrow of Light rank, this needs to completed only one time.
