Webelos (4th Grade)
Scouts in the 4th grade work on the Webelos rank. Scouts who have completed the fourth grade, then work on the Arrow of Light rank. Most Webelos are in this program for about 18 months. This is preparation for their later participation in the great adventure of Scouting BSA.
After your Scout’s Webelos Scout experience, and after your Scout has completed the fifth grade or is age 11, or has earned the Arrow of Light rank and is at least 10 years old, your Scout will be ready for more independence and adventure in a BSA Scouting troop.
