Webelos Rank Requirements
For boys who are in Fourth or Fifth grade and/or are 10 years old.
If the Cub Scout has not previously earned the Bobcat Badge, it must be earned first.

Your Webelos Den Leader will now sign off your activities (your parent or guardian
does not sign off the activities as they did when you were a Tiger, Wolf or Bear).


1.   Have an adult member of your family read the Webelos Scout Parent Guide
that comes with your Webelos book (pages 1-22).

2.  Be an active member of your Webelos den for 3 months (Active means having good  
attendance, paying den dues, working on den projects).

3.  Know and explain the meaning of the Webelos badge.

4.  Point out the three special parts of the Webelos Scout uniform. Tell when to wear
the uniform and when not to wear it.

5.  Earn the Fitness and Citizen activity badges and one other activity badge from a
different activity badge group .

6.  Plan and lead a flag ceremony in your den that includes the U.S. flag.

7.  Show that you know and understand the requirements to be a Boy Scout.
  a.  Demonstrate the Scout salute, Scout sign, and Scout handshake. Explain when
       you would use them.
  b.  Explain the Scout Oath, Scout Law, Scout motto, and Scout slogan
  c.  Explain and agree to follow the Outdoor Code.

8.  Faith
After completing the rest of requirement 8, do these (a, b, and c):
  a.  
Know: Tell what you have learned about faith.
  b.  
Commit: Tell how these faith experiences help you live your duty to God. Name
       one faith practice that you will continue to do in the future.
  c.  Practice: After doing these requirements, tell what you have learned about your
       beliefs.
And do one of these (d OR e):
d.        Earn the religious emblem of your faith*          
e.        Do two of these:
        Attend the mosque, church, synagogue, temple, or other religious organization of
your choice, talk with your religious leader about your beliefs. Tell your family and your
Webelos den leader what you learned.
        Discuss with your family and Webelos den leader how your religious beliefs fit in
with the Scout Oath and Scout Law, and what character-building traits your religious
beliefs have in common with the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
        With your religious leader, discuss and make a plan to do two things you think will
help you draw nearer to God. Do these things  for a month.
        For at least a month, pray or meditate reverently each day as taught by your
family, and by your church, temple, mosque, synagogue, or religious group.
        Under the direction of your religious leader, do an act of service for someone
else. Talk about your service with your family and Webelos den leader. Tell them how it
made you feel.
        List at least two ways you believe you have lived according to your religious
beliefs.
* If you earned your faith's religious emblem earlier in Cub Scouting, and your faith
does not have a Webelos religious emblem, you must complete requirement 8e.
Completion of requirement 8e does not qualify a youth to receive the religious emblem
of his faith.  Webelos Emblems are listed on pages 68-69 in your Webelos book.
Compass Points
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.
