Webelos

Welcome to the Webelos Den!

Webelos is an exciting program for fourth grade youth (or 10 years old) to begin the process to transition into a Scouting America troop while learning outdoors skills and participating in many adventures. A Webelos den is where scouts learn how to change from being an 'adult-run' den to being a 'scout-run' patrol. This migration requires the parents and den leaders to give the scouts more and more control, decision-making power, and responsibility as they progress in skills, abilities, and maturity.

This part of the Scouting Trail is intended to take one school year, preparing the scout to begin Arrow of Light adventures after fourth grade is completed.

Tip: Remember that the Cub Scout motto of Do Your Best is central to the program. There is no level of competence or skill required to complete adventures. Putting in personal effort and having fun with fellow scouts is success.

Webelos Advancement

Webelos Scouts do adventures described in their Webelos handbook that advance them towards their Webelos rank. By completing at least six adventures, the Webelos rank is earned.

This includes the five required adventures, plus one elective adventure. The elective adventure can be different for each scout, and a scout can earn as many as they want.

Webelos Adventure Pins - Tiger, Bear and Wolf scouts earned belt loops. Webelos earn pins which can be displayed on the Webelos Colors device. This moves closer to the Scouts, BSA merit badge system where recognition items are displayed on a sash.

All Webelos Scouts must also complete the Cyber Chip requirements.

The BSA teamed up with content expert NetSmartz®, part of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children® and training expert for many law enforcement agencies.

Netsmartz® has created a Scouting portal showcasing Cyber Chip resources, including grade-specific videos, for each level.

The Cyber Chip videos can be found at the BSA Cyber Chip Website
