Welcome to the Webelos Den!

What is a Webelos?
Information from usscouts.org: WELCOME TO CUB SCOUTING: EARNING THE WEBELOS RANK
A child who is 10 years old or is in the fourth grade is a Webelos I and their adventures are found in the Webelos Handbook.
Like all other new Cub Scouts, a Webelos I must first earn their Bobcat rank. After completing the requirements for Bobcat they may go on to complete the requirements for the Webelos rank and the many electives that are offered for their rank. Need to update your scout's achievement status? Submit their accomplishment in Scoutbook.
The Webelos I rank is earned by completing the adventures as described below.
