About

The Webelos rank is for fourth graders and is more challenging than Lion, Tiger, Wolf, and Bear ranks. Webelos Scouts take part in Cub Scout pack meetings and activities as well as Webelos den meetings, activities, and outdoor fun. They can earn Webelos & Arrow of Light Adventure Pins at any time.

Webelos is a special Scouting term created from the phrase “We’ll Be Loyal Scouts” and pronounced “WEE-buh–los.“

Webelos Scouts must complete the Webelos rank before working towards their Arrow of Light.
