Webelos
Webelos
dens are for boys who have completed third grade (or reached age
10). Note: Berlin also has a Webelos II for boys who have completed
fourth grade (or reached age 11). The Webelos den program
is different from the Cub Scout den program: Instead of being based
on a monthly theme, the Webelos den program is based on one of
20 Webelos activities.
Webelos Scouts work on requirements during their weekly den meetings.
Once the boy learns the skill, he practices it at den meetings
and at home on his own. The boy's family is encouraged to help
him at home. Boys bring to den meetings completed or partially
completed projects done at home to show others, as well as to be
approved by the Webelos den leader. This sharing encourages a boy
to do his best and helps to build his confidence and self-esteem.
When
a boy has completed the requirements for an activity badge, the Webelos den
leader or activity badge counselor, rather than a parent, approves most of
the activity badges.
In addition to earning individual activity pins, Webelos Scouts
can earn the compass points emblem, which is awarded after earning
seven activity badges. Metal compass points—east, west, north,
and south—are awarded for each four additional activity badges
earned.
Note: No matter what age or grade a boy joins Cub Scouting, he
must earn his Bobcat badge before he can advance to the rank of
Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear, or Webelos. See the TIGERS page for more
info.
