Webelos Trail

The Webelos Trail

Webelos I Cub Scouts are fourth grade boys (or boys that are 10 years old) who work toward earning their Webelos rank. Webelos I (pronounced “WEE-buh-los”, means WE’ll BE LOyal Scouts) is the first twelve months of an approximately twenty month program which teaches Cub Scouts about Boy Scouting and begins to prepare them to successfully bridge into a Boy Scout Troop. Webelos are gradually given more control, decision-making power, and responsibility as they progress in skills, ability

and maturity.

To earn the Webelos Rank badge a Webelos Scout must complete five core and two elective adventures as well as the Cyber Chip award requirements for this Scouting year. After completion of each core adventure the scout will be awarded with a Webelos Adventure Pin which is to be worn on his Webelos colors or Webelos hat. Completion of the elective adventures earns the Scout a Webelos Adventure Pin which is to be worn on his Webelos colors or Webelos hat as well.

After he has earned the Webelos badge, a Webelos Scout can work on the remaining 18 shared Webelos and Arrow of Light electives until he finishes fourth grade (or turns 11 years old). He can choose elective adventures that may show him new hobbies and teach him skills that will be useful during his Boy Scout years. When he completes an elective adventure, he receives an additional adventure pin to wear on his Webelos colors or Webelos hat.

As with all Cub Scout ranks, you must first earn the Bobcat Badge to be eligible to work for this award.

Also, your Webelos Den Leader will now sign off your activities (your parent or guardian does not sign off the activities as they did when you were a Wolf or Bear).

1. Be an active member of your Webelos den for three months. (Being active means having

good attendance, paying your den dues and working on den projects)

2. Complete each of the following Webelos required adventures with your den or family:

a. Cast Iron Chef

b. Duty to God and You

c. First Responder

d. Stronger, Faster, Higher

e. Webelos Walkabout

3. Complete two Webelos elective adventures of your den of family's

choosing.

4. With your parent or adult partner, complete the exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide, and earn the Cyber Chip award for

your age.*

*If your family does not have Internet access at home AND you do not have ready Internet access at school or another public place or via a mobile device, the Cyber Chip portion of this requirement may be waived by your parent or guardian.
