4th Graders work toward the Arrow of Light rank
Webelos is for 4th grade youth to prepare to join a Scouts BSA troop while learning outdoors skills and participating in many adventures. Webelos have completed third grade or are ten years old. Webelos complete adventures described in their Webelos handbook that advance them towards their Webelos rank. By completing three months of active membership in their den, six required adventures and two of fourteen elective adventures, the Webelos rank is earned.
A Webelos Scout can choose elective adventures to learn new skills or hobbies that will be useful during their Scouts BSA years. For completing an elective adventure they'll receive an additional adventure pin.
A well-run group of Webelos is a gradual change from being an 'adult-run' den to being a 'scout-run' patrol ready to fit right into an adventurous Scouts BSA troop. 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.

Major changes between Cub Scouts and Webelos

Advancement
Advancement
Webelos are encouraged to take the handbook to the den leader or assistant den leader for sign off when a requirement is completed. This is a change from having a parent sign off every activity. This change prepares the scout to have a Scoutmaster sign off each advancement requirement in the Scouts BSA program. There is more responsibility put on the scout to remember and bring the handbook to meetings and get it signed.
Adventure Pins
Adventure Pins
Lion, Tiger, Wolf, and Bear scouts earned belt loops. Webelos earn pins which can be displayed on the Adventures Colors device. This moves closer to the Scouts BSA merit badge system where recognition items are displayed on a sash.
Camping
Camping
Webelos dens Camp! Cub Scouts can camp as a pack, but Webelos aim to go out as a den as much as possible to give the scouts opportunities to learn and use their new skills. Each Webelo needs to have an adult responsible for the scout on each camping trip. Campouts may include backyard environments with dinner and s'mores made on a gas grill. Attending a district or council organized summer Webelos camp is planned.
