Blue and Gold - Bridging Over

When a Cub Scout bridges over into Boy Scouts it's a pretty big deal.

First the Webelos Den Leader and the Cubmaster take off the boys' Cub Scout epaulets, neckerchief, and slide.

Then the Scoutmaster calls for each boy from the other side of the bridge. Two Boy Scouts greet him and put on his Boy Scout epaulets, neckerchief, and slide.

Then once all the new scouts have crossed over, the whole troop walks by welcoming the boys in.

And they are officially Boy Scouts.

The Arrow of Light award is the highest award available to Cub Scouts. It requires the Scout to have earned the Webelos Scout badge and eight activity badges. In addition to the skill and activity requirements of the preceding ranks, the Arrow of Light requires Scouts to learn the Scout Promise and Scout Law, and visit one meeting and one activity of a Boy Scout troop, in preparation for advancing to the Boy Scouts. Earning the Arrow of Light will help earn many of the requirements for the lower ranks of the Boy Scouts. The Arrow of Light award is the only Cub Scout award that can be worn on a Boy Scout uniform.
