Webelos (4th & 5th Grade)

Our Goals Webelos is a 20 month program for 4th and 5th grade boys and girls to prepare to join a Scouts BSA troop while learning outdoor skills and participating in 20 different activity badges. 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 scouting troop.

Summary The Webelos program has two major milestones - the Webelos rank badge to be earned at the 4th grade level and the Arrow of Light to be earned at the 5th grade. The final part of Webelos is bridging over into a Scouts BSA troop selected individually by the scout.

The Webelos Cub Scout uniform has the following parts;

1. Shirt—The official tan uniform shirt is available with long or short sleeves and has button-flap pockets.

2. Pants— The official green shorts, long pants, skorts, and roll up pants.

3. Belt—Official navy-blue web belt with metal buckle or the green web belt with BSA buckle is acceptable for the 2021-22 program year.

4. Socks—Official green socks are available in three lengths: ankle, crew, and knee.

5. Hat—Official green hat with Webelos plaid front and Webelos emblem.

6. Neckerchief—Webelos plaid triangular neckerchief with Webelos logo. Official BSA neckerchiefs are the only neckerchiefs that are part of the uniform.

7. Neckerchief slide—Official gold-tone metal slide with Webelos emblem. Cub Scouts may wear handmade neckerchief slides.

8. Webelos Colors.- The Webelos Colors is an optional uniform piece that is worn on the right sleeve to display the Webelos Adventure Pins that have been earned. If the Webelos Colors are not used, Webelos Adventure Pins may be worn on the Webelos hat.
