This program is for boys who are in fourth-grade (or are age 10). A boy may begin working on the
Webelos badge as soon as he joins a Webelos den. This is the first step in his transition from
the Webelos den to the Boy Scout troop. As he completes the requirements found in the Webelos
Handbook, he will also work on additional activity badges which will earn him his
Compass Emblem
and compass points, attend meetings led by adults, and become familiar with the Boy Scout requirements--all
leading to the
Arrow of Light Award.

-
Earn the Bobcat badge if not already earned.
-
Have an adult member of your family read the Webelos Scout Parent Guide that comes with this book (Webelos Handbook, Pages 1-22)
