The Webelos Badge is for boys who have completed third grade, or who are ten years old. The Webelos rank is the first step in a boy's transition towards a Boy Scout troop. If a Webelo-aged boy is new to Cub Scouting, he must complete the Bobcat trail before beginning work on the Bear achievements.

As he completes the achievements in the Webelos Scout Book, he will work on Activity Badges. These are age-appropriate projects for older Cub Scouts. Activity badges are sorted into five discipline-related groups. They are the Community Group, the Mental Skills Group, the Outdoor Group, the Physical Skills Group, and the Technology Group. Activity Badges can be displayed on the front of the Webelos cap or on the Webelos Colors. During this period, the Webelos Scout should also begin to attend meetings led by adults, and become more familiar with the Boy Scout requirements.

After earning the Webelos badge, the Webelos Scout may receive the Compass Points emblem and gold 'devices' to pin on it as an incentive to complete additional Activity Badges.

Boys can also begin working on their Academics and Sports Belt Loops and Pins at this time. Boys will also earn patches for participation in special events such as Day Camp or Pack Overnighters.
