Webelos – Arrow of Light (5th Grade)
Webelo Scouts (5th Grade) – Arrow of Light
Scouts who have completed the third grade work on the Webelos rank. Scouts who have completed the fourth grade work on the Arrow of Light rank. Most Webelos Scouts are in this program for about 18 months. This is preparation for their later participation in the great adventure of Boy Scouting. After your Scout’s Webelos Scout experience, and after he has completed the fifth grade or is age 11, or has earned the Arrow of Light rank and is at least 10 years old, he’ll be ready for more independence and adventure in a Boy Scout troop. There is a Boy Scout Troop associated with St. Basil Church.
