Webelos - Webelos 4 - Webelos 5
This program is for boys who have completed third 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 work on activity badges, attend meetings led by adults, and become familiar with the Boy Scout requirements—all leading to the Arrow of Light Award.
Character Development:
Since its origin, the Scouting program has been an educational experience concerned with values.
In 1910, the first activities for Scouts were designed to build character, physical fitness, practical skills,
and service. These elements were part of the original Cub Scout program and continue to be part of Cub
Scouting today.
Character can be defined as the collection of core values possessed by an individual that leads to moral commitment and action. Core values are the basis of good character development. In helping boys develop character, Cub Scouting promotes the following 12 core values.
Cub Scouting's 12 Core Values

Cub Scouting Ideals
Apart from the fun and excitement of Cub Scout activities, the Cub Scout Promise, the Law of the Pack,
the Tiger Cub motto, and the Cub Scout sign, handshake, motto, and salute all teach good citizenship and
contribute to a boy's sense of belonging.
Cub Scout Promise
I, (name), promise to do my best
To do my duty to God and my country,
To help other people, and
To obey the Law of the Pack.
Cub Scout Motto
Do Your Best.
