.

The Webelos Program is an eighteen month program for Fourth and Fifth Grade Boys.  The Webelos Scout program is more challenging to the older boy - in fact, he's now called a Webelos Scout and may wears a different uniform signifying his new status.  His leader is assisted by other den parents.   Also, the Webelos Scout's advancement is approved by his Webelos Den Leader rather than his parent, home achievements are checked by the leader after completion.  After completing an Activity Pins at home the Scout should present his book to his Den leader a state that he as completed an Activity Pins, the Den Leader would them check is book and record the completion..

In both years, they work toward earning Webelos Activity Pins in twenty different areas, arranged in five groups.  The five groups are: Community, Mental Skills, Outdoor, Physical Skills and Technology.  Fourth Grade Boys work toward the Webelos Badge.  After earning the Webelos Badge, boys work toward Compass Point Emblem and Metal COMPASS POINTS   by earning additional Activity Pins.
 


Fifth Graders, after earning the Webelos Badge, can earn Cub Scouting's highest award - the Arrow of Light.
The Arrow of Light (AOL) is the only Cub Scout badge that can be Rabk worn on a Boy Scout uniform. This is usually award at Blue and Gold in Feb. (the other other cub award on a Boy Scout uniform is the Religious reward.

 After receiving the AOL award, he is eligible to become a Boy Scout, or he may join a troop at age 11
(or when he completes the fifth grade).
In Pack 373 our Second Year Webelos Scouts move up to Boy Scouts after Blue and Gold in Feb.
