Recognition is important to young boys. The Cub Scout advancement plan provides fun for the boys, gives them a sense of personal achievement as they earn badges, and strengthens family understanding as adult family members work with boys on advancement projects.

Webelos is for boys who have completed the four grade or are 10 years old. Your Webelos Den Leader is assisted by other Den parents and Assistant Den leader(s).

Webelos advancement is a lenghty process which is covered in great detail in the Webelos handbook and on-line at usscouts.org

After you've earned the Webelos badge, you can earn the compass points emblem. It is awarded after you earn seven activity badges, four more in addition to the three you earned for the Webelos badge. Wear your compass points emblem attached to the button on the right pocket of the Webelos uniform shirt.

After you earn the compass points emblem,   you'll receive a metal compass point for each four additional activity badges you earn. Pin these compass points on the emblem in the "E," "W," or "S" positions, in any order you choose.  

You can earn the emblem and all three compass points by completing 19 activity badges, including the three required for the Webelos Badge.

Motivated Webelos can also earn the coveted "Arrow of Light" - the highest award available to Cub Scouts.

Webelos may also participate in the Sports and Academic Belt Loop program, the Religious Emblem Program and the Family Activity Program.
