Webelos Scout Program

Webelos is a 20 month program for 4th and 5th grade boys to prepare

to join a Boy Scout troop while learning outdoors skills and participating

in 20 different activity badges.

we gradually give them more tasks to do, such as taking attendance,

checking uniforms, leading flag ceremonies, making announcements,

preparing snacks, planning Webelos activity badge outings, organizing

campouts, and leading entire meetings.

We concentrate on having more patrol games, contests, and skill-

building rather than activities directly related to an activity badge at

our den meetings.

WE3-25-09

Webelos Program

Webelos Program:

The Webelos program has two major milestones - the Webelos rank and the

Arrow of Light. The final part of Webelos is bridging over into a Boy Scout

troop.

Patrols:

For Webelos , a patrol is just another name for the den but it does have some

significance. Boy Scouts are organized into Patrols, each with their own name,

flag, yell, leader, and emblem. As Webelos, a den can begin to operate as a

patrol and select an emblem for their uniform, make up a yell, name, and flag.

This can really get the scouts to become a team. Taking their flag along on a

campout or hike and announcing themselves with their yell is pretty fun.

Scout Rank

The first rank of Boy Scouting can be earned as soon as a boy joins a

troop, especially if he has earned his Arrow of Light as a Webelos scout.

This first rank is earned by applying and memorizing some important

scouting basics.

More Information: http://www.boyscouttrail.com/boy-scouts/scout-scouts.asp

WE3-25-09

Second Class Rank

Second Class scouts work on building their outdoor survival and camping

skills. Compass work, nature observation, camp tools, and swimming are

areas where new skills are mastered and demonstrated. A second class

scout, having completed all the requirements, should be able to lead a

hike, care for his own equipment, set up a campsite, and perform basic

first aid.

More Information: http://www.boyscouttrail.com/boy-scouts/2ndclass-scouts.asp

WE3-25-09

First Class Rank

When the First Class rank is attained, a scout has learned all the basic

camping and outdoors skills of a scout. He can fend for himself in the wild,

lead others on a hike or campout, set up a camp site, plan and properly

prepare meals, and provide first aid for most situations he may encounter.

A First Class scout is prepared.

Individual requirement items for Tenderfoot, 2nd Class, and 1st Class ranks

may be worked on simultaneously depending on your program offerings

but the ranks must be earned in the proper sequence.

More Information: http://www.boyscouttrail.com/boy-scouts/2ndclass-scouts.asp

WE3-25-09

Star Rank

Up through First Class rank, a scout was busy learning skills and becoming

a self-sufficient scout. He now moves from being a learner to being a

leader. The Star rank is attained with participation, leadership, service,

and self-directed advancement through merit badges.

More Information: http://www.boyscouttrail.com/boy-scouts/star-scouts.asp

WE3-25-09

Life Rank

Continuing to develop leadership skills, the Life Scout rank is earned by

fulfilling additional leadership positions, service hours, and merit badges.

A Life Scout is expected to be a role model and leader in the troop,

providing guidance to new scouts and helping the troop however he can.

Being a good leader can only be learned by doing and troop leadership

positions allow the scout to make decisions, lead discussions, and

encourage others.

WE3-25-09

Eagle Scout Rank

Attaining the Eagle rank is often the end goal of a scout and his parents. It

looks good on a resume and shows commitment to a program over an

extended span of time. But, just like each rank advancement before it, the

Eagle rank is a major advancement milestone, but not the culmination of

scouting.

After reaching Eagle, a scout can continue to earn merit badges and be

rewarded with an Eagle Palm for each 5 additional merit badges.
