What is a Webelos II?
Information from usscouts.org: WELCOME TO CUB SCOUTING: EARNING THE WEBELOS RANK + Arrow of Light
A child who is in the fourth or fifth grade is a Webelos Scout and their adventures are found in the Webelos Handbook. Once a child has completed their Webelos rank requirements or a new child joins Cub Scouting in the fifth grade, they may work on Arrow of Light requirements. Like all other new Cub Scouts, a Webelos Scout must first earn their Bobcat rank. After completing the requirements for Bobcat they may go on to complete the requirements for the Arrow of Light rank and the many electives that are offered for his rank.
All Cub Scouts, except for those who join Cub Scouting for the first time in fifth grade, must earn their Webelos rank prior to earning Arrow of Light. The requirements for Webelos and Arrow of Light may be worked on at the same time but the tenure requirements for each must be met and the awards must be earned and presented sequentially.
