webelos den - fourth grade
Welcome to the Webelos Den!
Den Leader - TBD
Summary
Kids in Fourth Grade (9-10 years old) can participate. 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. The final part of Webelos is bridging over into a BSA troop selected individually by the scout.
Our Goals
Webelos is a 20 month program for 4th and 5th grade kids 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.
