Arrow of Light

Webelos Visit the Troop

Webelos Boy Scout Camping Trip

Once a year Troop 401 hosts a camping trip for the Webelos IIs of Pack 401. This meets a requirement for the Arrow of Light and prepares them for bridging over into Boy Scouts.







Jeremiah got to tag along. It was a very special treat for him.





Calvin helped teach the younger boys how the Boy Scouts earn their Firem'n Chit and Totem Chip cards. These cards give a scout the right to carry a knife and make fire.





Joshua and Calvin will share many special scout experiences as Joshua bridges over.

Blue and Gold - Arrow of Light Ceremony

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.

Webelos Outdoor Adventure

We went to the Mountains to the Sea trail. It was snowing and the ground was covered in ice, water, and mud.






On the trail we stopped and learned how to make an emergency shelter. We got a really large stick and leaned it against a tree. We put sticks leaned against the tree that was leaned against the big tree. We put dead leaves over the sticks that were leaned against the branch that was leaned against the tree. You are supposed to put a tarp over top of that and you have a waterproof shelter for the night. But we had to get back to the trail head. So we didn't put the tarp on.
