Welcome to Arrow of Light

Fifth Grade

Our Goals:  Webelos II is a month program for 5th grade boys and girls to prepare to join a Boy Scout troop while learning outdoor skills and participating in 20 different activity badges. A well-run group of Webelos is a gradual change from being an 'adult-run' den to being a 'Scout-run' patrol ready to fit right into an adventurous scouting troop.

Summary: The Webelos program has two major milestones - the Webelos rank badge to be earned at the 4th grade level and the Arrow of Light to be earned at the 5th grade. 

WELCOME TO Arrow of Light!

After the Webelos Scout has earned the Webelos badge, he or she will focus on the requirements for the Arrow of Light Award. Working on these requirements gives Scouts a chance to practice skills that they have already learned, earn more activity badges, and learn more about Boy Scouting.

ARROW OF LIGHT

The Arrow of Light Award is the highest award a boy or girl can earn as a Cub Scout. This recognition is the only Cub Scout badge authorized to be worn on the Boy Scout Uniform when a boy graduates into a troop. Webelos Scouts who have earned the Arrow of Light Award have also completed all the requirements for the Boy Scout Badge.

The Arrow of Light Award displays a universal symbol for the sun and, below it, an arrow. The seven rays of the sun stand for each day of the week. They remind  you to do your best every day as you follow the arrow that leads you to Boy Scouting.
