Webelos Leader Resources
General Information
The Webelos badge program for Cub Scouts is designed for fourth graders, beginning a path which leads from the earlier Cub Scout experience to new challenges for older youth. This program, tailored for 10-year-olds, offers a mix of activities focused on outdoor skills, personal fitness, citizenship, personal safety, and family values. The Webelos program is all about preparing Cubs for the next step in scouting by teaching them new skills, encouraging independence, and fostering respect for themselves and others.
In a change from past years, the Webelos program is now completely separate from Arrow of Light.
​
Core Adventures for Webelos include learning about character and leadership through the Bobcat requirement, exploring the great outdoors in Webelos Walkabout, and achieving personal fitness goals with Stronger, Faster, Higher. Cubs also engage with their community in My Community, learn how to stay safe in My Safety, and reflect on family importance and reverence in My Family. These adventures are designed to build a strong foundation in each Cub, emphasizing the growth of their personal character and community involvement.
​
The Elective Adventures offer Webelos the chance to dive deeper into areas that interest them, from Aquanaut, where they can sharpen their swimming skills, to Earth Rocks! for those fascinated by science. New adventures like Catch the Big One and Math on the Trail introduce practical skills in fishing and mathematics, while Modular Design and Tech on the Trail engage Cubs with engineering and technology challenges. Activities like Paddle Onward and Pedal Away provide fun, physically active ways to enjoy the outdoors, and Chef’s Knife teaches important safety skills.
​
Overall, the Webelos badge program is a comprehensive journey that prepares Cubs for the adventures that lie ahead in Scouts BSA. It’s about challenging themselves, discovering new passions, and making lifelong memories. By completing these adventures, Webelos earn badges that symbolize their readiness and commitment to scouting’s values. This program not only equips Cubs with a wide range of skills but also instills in them a sense of pride and achievement, setting the stage for their continued growth and success in scouting.
