Webelos

Scouting offers a continuous program that becomes progressively more challenging.

Cub Scouting takes place largely in the family.  The Scouts BSA program is designed for youth ages 11 through 17, who are old enough to be on their own in the out-of-doors. While adults serve as key leaders, Scouts hold leadership positions and plan the troop’s program.

The passage from Cub Scout pack to a Scout troop should be smooth, with no time lost in between. By the time Webelos Scouts are ready to cross over, they and their families should be familiar and comfortable with the youth and adult leaders of the troop, their role in the troop and troop activities, and feel excited about beginning this new adventure. The Webelos Scout’s graduation ceremony should clearly signify their transition to a new level of Scouting and could include the presentation of an Arrow of Light badge, a Scouts BSA Handbook, and a troop neckerchief.

A Webelos Scout who has earned the Arrow of Light rank has now completed all the requirements for the Scout rank and may join a Scout troop.

The best way to prepare for Webelos graduation is to visit our troop events. These events are designed to help the Webelos Scout, their parents, and their den begin the Webelos to Scout transition.
