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.
